Boomkat Product Review:

"San Francisco native Patrick Sexx (real name Patrick Sexton) creates electronic-tinged works that are birthed from the combination of his constant search for experimental sounds along with a never-resting intuitive mind. His debut full length album The Shadow That Took Shape, is set for release March 11th on Alpha Pup Records and weaves together energetic sub frequencies with triumphant synthesis to forge his singular sound. Patrick builds upon both melody and rhythms that create a constant pulse across various patterns that take shape across the album. A good indicator of this is the bone-rattling first single “Tao”. It’s clear that his heavy 808 vibrations have found themselves among comfortable surroundings with his peers Alpha Pup Records and Low End Theory peers. The Shadow That Took Shape was recorded over the course of a year in the backwoods of Northern California, allowing Patrick to truly feel off the grid while literally removing himself from the boisterous surroundings of many of his counterparts and label mates. Quite literally, most of the music on the album was captured in a Northern California cabin accessible only by a dirt road. For someone so inspired by the blips of Richard D James and the low end of Doodlebug, it’s surprising to hear Patrick’s deft touch at incorporating elements that are both musically and thematically organic throughout. Whether it’s the old world sounds hear on “Tao,” or the close to home inspiration of the album opener “My Father and I,” the album was truly inspired by the secluded surroundings Patrick sought out during the creative process."
