Taking boredom, frustration, and mid-20s malaise as their starting points, New York three-piece Patio have shared the excellent first single, Boy Scout, from their debut album Essentials, due out on the 5th April on Fire Talk Records.

A track of minimal, affecting post-punk, the song is a ninety second, perfectly targeted gut shot – straight to the point and a perfect introduction to their sparse melodic songs that mix elegant rhythms, ethereal singing, and punk-inspired chants.
