On his third full-length Heart Of Crime, Patterson continues to explore what he refers to as "electric Southern romanticism." It's an album that throbs with pulsing synths, hammering drum machines, and economic guitar hooks. Where so many artists have leveraged these tools towards stern stoicism, Patterson had a different objective for their emotional resonance.
This vision has been consistent across the entire Fotocrime catalog, but where 2020's South Of Heaven found Patterson's songs supplemented by Steve Albini-recorded live drums, a different approach was required for its follow-up. Consequently, Heart Of Crime is the austere response to quarantine life; the most direct and personal thing Patterson has done and the first time Patterson has recorded and mixed an album all by himself.
