RELEASE DESCRIPTION
RELEASE DESCRIPTION
Patterns is the long-anticipated debut LP from Portland indie rock outfit Pool Boys. Building off their 2022 EP, Obviously, Doctor, this first full-length album showcases what Pool Boys has come to be known for unexpected chord structures, compelling dynamic shifts, and lush vocal harmonies punctuated by raw emotion.
Amid their signature sound that features bright guitar tones and driving melodies balanced with moments of tension and heaviness, songwriters Emma Rose Browne, Caroline Jackson, and Annie Dillon explore themes around the inherent dissonance of breaking away from ingrained cycles and carving new pathways forward. Browne’s “I Can’t Imagine This Place Will Last” starts the album with a fast-paced, apocalyptic yet hopeful view of climate change, and Jackson’s “Habits” stands out as a catchy yet intricate song affirming that growth is not always linear, giving us the album’s title: “Patterns are hard to break.”
After the three founding members were joined by Monica Metzler on drums in 2020, Pool Boys spent the following years intimately learning each other’s creative voices and honing their collective craft. Though listeners will find many pop-centric hooks throughout the album, Patterns highlights the band’s uncanny ability to weave together complex vocal and instrumental lines organically within this set of diverse yet cohesive tracks.
Patterns will be available on vinyl and all major streaming platforms on November 15, 2024, with a release show at Mississippi Studios in Portland, Oregon.

Let customers speak for us
from 30 reviewsI got this for my husband as a gift and he really loved it. Great sound and beautiful color. I’m so glad I got this vinyl.
Beautiful vinyl. Good price. Came packaged well.
Really happy with the vinyl box set. It was sent quickly, well packaged and made it to Australia unscathed 😊
Came exactly as described and in perfect condition, the best shipment service on vinyls I’ve ever had. Fast and accurate, I’ve had records ordered for almost a month with another store and these guys continually beat out all other stores for shipment. I just ordered again from them, highly recommend.
The album arrived well packaged, in impeccable condition. Love the service. Love this album!
Great shop, I can only recommend it.
I finally received it. It came well packaged and secure. The customer assistance was great and helpful with my queries.
honestly i was very happy to have this poster come in, and imma buy a frame for it later. the poster is really beautiful and i love it, there was a slight defect to it, no fault to the company, but the mailing service itself, but it doesnt really bother me at all since it’s barely noticeable, i am just so happy to own it!!
Beautiful packaging and lovely sonic excursions abound from this vinyl. Thank you !̦ Helix.
Excellent album. I had never purchased from this vendor before and I was initially leary (this album is sold out on bandcamp and Materia Collective's site, and I'd never heard of Helix). But the album arrived quickly and was packaged very securely. I wish the "gold swirl" was a touch more apparent but I understand that each record will look different. Wonderful release from Rozen overall.
Great album that been on list for a while,had to grab for this great price! And shipping was pretty fast as well ,will definitely recommend and shop again.🙏🏽
Awesome addition to my collection.
Vinyl came in great shape and plays well!
