BIO:
Patchwork, has undergone lineup change after lineup change, dissolved and reformed countless times and remained an unpredictable but endearing fixture in the Madison, WI music community. After spending a few months wood-shedding songs in a South Madison warehouse, Jeremiah Nelson emerged with a batch of songs that echo the space they were born, ranging from scatterbrained amplified rants to whispery lo-fi pop. Going right for the central nerve, the title track and most raucous from Take me down the Interstate climaxes over clanging guitars,
“Tell me what are you supposed to do? / First you’re dumb and in love then you’re old and immune... / Every place feels the same / It’s just another stop on the Intestate.”
The album is a testament to life on the road, drunken sing-a-longs and hard-earned thinly-spread paychecks. It’s not for the faint hearted but its dog-eared charm should resonate with folks who have been through the ringer a couple times.
