5. Pattern Is Movement - "Enjoy"

Pattern Is Movement On "Enjoy"
"Björk's music informs nearly every one of Pattern is Movement's songs. We've always been completely enamored with her ability to combine universe-sized grandness with the intimacy of lips on your ear. We are thrilled to be a part of this love letter to her. Our approach was to substitute the density of the percussion with harmonic and melodious density, all the while maintaining the exotic-groove-with-steamy-organ motif. To us, the end result wound up sounding like Perry Como in the Congo."
- Pattern Is Movement

Great track. It's like PIM is recalling the song of an old friend. Simultaneously sounds like both Bjork and themselves.
