[MP3] Pataphysics – Today
New single from a Melbourne-based act affiliated with friends of The Kitchen, Audego. Check the science:
“Today” is the new single from PATAPHYSICS, off his forthcoming album Tip Of The Spear. A jam to bump this summer, it’s also a mantra of positive thought coding for anyone who has or is going through a hard time.
Pat is joined by the soulful Kaiit (‘Natural Woman’) and Allysha Joy (3070) who lend their vocal prowess and unique tones to this joint. It’s easy to hear that Pat, who played every instrument on the track, is a Mercury Prize winning songwriter, who has a vast production background from ARIA award winner 360 to Nazeem Hussain’s Legally Brown (SBS).
Pata who?
If you live in Melbourne and see live music there’s a good chance you’ve seen pataphysics on a stage. His freestyle and trumpet stylings have seen him frequently playing or recording with: Billy Davis, A Brother Scratch (3070), So.Crates, The Foreign Brothers, Wolves in the Cellar, Hau Latukefu and a host of other bands. A mainstay in the scene, it is a unique musicality and his commitment to refining a sound which has seen him perform around the country from Laneway Festival to The Sydney Opera House, delivering his powerful live show.
His rhyme style reminds me of ̶B̶a̶n̶k̶s̶y̶ Robert ‘3D’ Del Naja of Massive Attack. Agree?

I don’t know much about this Two Tone cat (this is the only Two Tone I know about!) but this track by him with Waka Flocka sounds like it could be big to me. Y’all??
