New York’s Patio formed when non-musician Loren DiBlasi met actual musician Lindsey-Paige McCloy, and a joke about outdoor day drinking turned into a real-life band. The duo was soon joined by Alice Suh, a college friend of McCloy's who had recently started learning drums. Instantly, the trio developed a signature sound of sparse, melodic post-punk, signing with Fire Talk Records and releasing acclaimed debut Essentials in 2019.

On latest album Collection, new sonic influences like disco and 2000s NYC indie evoke freedom and euphoric joy — maintaining the band’s signature minimalism, but with newfound confidence and control. Produced by Nate Amos (Water from Your Eyes, This Is Lorelei), Collection was named one of the best indie rock albums of 2023 by Rolling Stone.
