After an initial rise in the world of hip-hop and a debut LP that received critical acclaim, Lee Bannon is set to release his follow up to 2013’s Alternate/Endings. Pattern Of Excel signals a movement away from the ground he’s already covered and toward his own brand of the leftfield future. Gone are the rapid-fire breaks and growling b-lines of his debut, replaced instead by a considered exploration of ambient and drone influences. Rather than a departure, Pattern Of Excel can only be considered a continuation of Lee Bannon’s demonstrated flexibility.
