PIT ER PAT is a Chicago-based trio comprised of vocalist-keyboardist Fay Davis-Jeffers, drummer Butchy Fuego and bassist Rob Doran.
Strong rhythms provide the solid floor for ethereal melodies and layers of textural samples on Pyramids. Contemporaries describe Pit er Pat's sound as distinctively modern and fresh.
Soundwise, imagine a stripped back Tortoise with female vocals or an indie pop trio with curious jazz-bossa influences.
Pit er Pat toured extensively through most of 2005 and made their first full circuits of the US and Europe, including tours with fellow Chicago native and Sea+The Cake vocalist Sam Prekop.
The album was recorded at Chicago's legendary Soma Studios with Tortoise's John McEntire and was completed in just 11 days. It's clear that McEntire was very much in-tune with the bands r musical ideas.
Pyramids is Pit er Pat's second full album and sixth release overall. Utterly unique and tricky to pin down, it's by far the band's most comprehensive effort to date.
Album is being serviced to tastemaker media and indie/community radio for airplay and review.
