about

2020 will be remembered as the year Covid-19 pandemic spread worldwide and disrupted our way of life. Year of Menace, the 3rd album release from South-East Asian-based group Game of Patience, didn’t start out as a statement but its release is a timely representation of our troubled times.  

The music crosses the comfort threshold with reproductive cells of electronic and acoustic particles decimating the staid state of tradition; creating future sounds for tomorrow’s sorrow. Year of Menace is electro-acoustic improv at its most daring and inspired and a product of telepathic communication between Yong Yandsen on tenor, Brian O’Reilly on contrabass and electronics and Darren Moore on snare and percussion.
