Patience

Description

Deeply attuned to the power of their physical reality, Mannequin Pussy funnel complex emotions into blistering riffs, thrashing rhythms, and vocals that feel as immediate and untamed as a gut reaction. But throughout *Patience*, their third album, the band contrasts that raw vitality with intricate melodies and finely detailed arrangements, creating a strange and potent tension that makes the album all the more cathartic. The follow-up to 2016's *Romantic*—hailed by Pitchfork for "[combining] punk, shoegaze, death metal, and more, with the fierce push-pull energy of a mosh pit"—*Patience* came to life at Studio 4 in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. For the album, Mannequin Pussy worked with producer/engineer Will Yip (Quicksand, The Menzingers), ultimately forging an explosive sound without obscuring the subtlety of their songwriting.
