‘Should Be Working (On You)’ scurrys with fuzzy soundscapes as Paterson delves deep into his electronic depths.

The track swirls through tight ethereal soundscapes while the wandering synth and distorted fragments create lush spacy textures. With Paterson’s deep reverb vocals creating a dark undertone between the delicate harmonies, the track has a Moby residue with a Tame Impala- esque flourish through its meticulous intricacies. Paterson creates a unique and experimental track with ‘Should Be Working (On You)’ filled with meandering psych-tinted elements, pop and R&B to create an invigorating and refreshing listening experience.

Mike Paterson returns with a new sound and fresh passion.He has released his new single ‘Stuck Around’. Previously releasing work as Mike Paterson, he is simplifying his moniker to just Paterson. Paterson writes, records, and produces his own work. This is his first release since his acclaimed EP “Devils In The Water” (Homebeat Presents, 2018). Paterson signed a publishing deal with Avant Music group in May 2018.
Rooted in a brooding aesthetic and laced with wisps of airy synths and strong grooves ‘Stuck Around’ presents Paterson’s sound in all its glory. Darkened reverb layered soundscapes swirl between jangly guitar lines as the track slips into an echoed dream-like distortion with hints of psychedelia. Paterson provides a dizzying almost confused atmosphere around the constant that is, his deep vocals, which creates a moody almost nonchalant tone through the bubbling whirling backdrop. The track lifts for the guitar heavy echoed chorus creating a sense of euphoria as the fizzy beat lays down a buoyant backdrop behind this breezy ethereal atmosphere. With quite the earnest push and pull effect teamed with compelling production and intriguing musicianship it’s an enticing and honest return from Paterson.
