Apparently a concept album about a love story between two merging corporations, the debut of this duo from Minneapolis is at first a difficult bundle of noise, but underneath the surface there is a serenity that grabs its audience. Guitarist Jenna Wilhelm's vocals, that are reminiscent of Broadcast, are coupled with the digital noises of electronics-man Mark McGee, resulting in a very dark atmosphere. Perhaps it's the constantly overruling noise that makes The Patron peculiar, but it's interesting to listen to a battle between heaven and hell, with hell ever so victorious.
