Description
Long before Patrick Paige II knew how to rip bass, he knew he wanted to fly. “Since I was little I was obsessed with aviation,” he recalls. “I wanted to be in the airforce until I got older and more conscious — no, I don’t wanna drop bombs on people for no fucking reason. But flying was an obsession that started young.” Through their mutual friend Robbie, he met a kindred spirit and collaborator in Syd Bennett shortly after graduating high school in 2007. Bennett asked him to play bass in her new band, later known as The Internet. The rest — four critically-lauded albums, multiple world tours, Grammy and BET Award nominations, and collaborations with the likes of Kaytranada, Tyler the Creator, Janelle Monáe — is history.As the band grew, so did Paige as a solo artist. In May 2018, he put out his debut album Letters of Irrelevance. While on the road later that year with The Internet touring Hive Mind, Paige needed a way to further set his own intentions. What initially began as the makings of an EP quickly amassed into something more like a revelation, featuring the likes of Steve Lacy, Syd, Westside McFly, Saba, Ohana Bam, and Forte Bowie
