Hello,

The debut album from The Pattern Forms, Peel Away the Ivy, a collaborative project between Ed Macfarlane and Edd Gibson of Friendly Fires and Jon Brooks of The Advisory Circle, is due out 21st October. Pre-orders are open in the Ghost Box Shop right now.

Following on from the Other Voices 03 single in 2015, this is an album that perfectly melds blissful pop with more exploratory electronics, its roots lying in the artists' shared love of soundtracks and electronic library music of the 70s and 80s. It should appeal to fans of both bands.

To launch the release, there'll be a live in-store performance at Rough Trade East, London, on 21st October by The Pattern Forms and a DJ set from Ghost Box sleeve designer, Julian House (also the man behind The Focus Group).

There'll also be a limited edition of 300 translucent green vinyl LPs with alternate sleeve art exclusive to Rough Trade stores worldwide (including on line).

It's 6:00 to 8:00pm and PLEASE NOTE this is a ticketed event. Wristbands are only available from Rough Trade with CD, LP or Colour Vinyl LP pre-orders or purchases on the day. Please see the Rough Trade site here for full details.

You can listen to a Radio Belbury guest mix by The Pattern Forms, featuring the 70s and 80s library music that inspires them here:

There will be a re-pressing of Pye Corner Audio's Stasis due out in late November, (date to be confirmed). It's a fairly small run and most copies will be reserved exclusively for the Ghost Box shop  - there'll be no pre-orders. First come, first served only so keep an eye on our website, twitter and facebook for news. If you miss out we're going to be releasing a larger third run next spring, so eventually there will be enough for everyone. Meanwhile  please bear with us and don't pay the artifically inflated Discog prices.

Thank you for listening.
