Pattern Is Movement have long held a place in my heart (ever since my friend Dan Levine introduced me to the Philadelphia indie-rock band seven years ago) and tomorrow night they return to Chicago one last time during a monthlong farewell tour. I remember Pattern Is Movement were called “lumberjack rock” when I first heard them, a term that doesn’t really describe the tone of their delicate, minimal songs as much as it focuses on what the band members look like: singer-keyboardist Andrew Thiboldeaux and drummer Chris Ward have an affinity for woodsman-type flannel, sport beards that suggest they spend a lot of time in a forest (though Thiboldeaux shed his for the above press photo), and look like they could make a living chopping down trees.
Pattern Is Movement play Lincoln Hall tomorrow night for their final local appearance. Make sure you show up early, because they go on first, just before Maps & Atlases. The concert starts at 9 PM; tickets are $17, or $15 in advance.
