Like a broken mirror, Seattle’s Guest Directors reflect a multitude of emotional and musical pathways. On their new LP, Interference Patterns, the songs spiral one after another – sometimes powerful and sometimes delicate. They can sound like snowflakes and hail storms, sometimes in the same song.
Interference Patterns features nine songs curated from the entire lifespan of the band, including one of the very first songs they ever wrote, as well as a song they practically wrote in the studio. The bulk of it was recorded at a beautiful, old church in Anacortes, WA, and the details were finished up within a stone’s throw of a certain famous troll.
