Founded in Philadelphia by Andrew Thiboldeaux and Christopher Ward, Pattern Is Movement map a vast territory of internal exploration and external output. As the band recorded a series of albums over the past decade — The (Im)possibility of Longing, Stowaway, and All Together — they also shifted in membership and in stylistic focus, eventually solidifying into a powerful duo: Thiboldeaux on Rhodes, synth, bass, and vocals, and Ward on drums. Deeply soulful and natively genre-defying, they toured extensively, joining bands like St. Vincent, The Roots, and Shudder to Think, before delving into their fourth album and, along with it, the brightest and darkest corners of composition, orchestration, and collaboration. Years in the making, the release of Pattern Is Movement's new self-titled album is accompanied by a 12" single and will be available in a limited edition deluxe colored vinyl package, as well as on CD and Digital formats.
in 2015 Pattern Is Movement disbanded.

The lyrics of Pattern is Movement's song "Talk Back To Me" are about a father or a parental figure who is frustrated with his daughter's behavior. He talks about how his daughter is always acting out and how he mentions her in his track to diss her. He complains about how his daughter thinks she is cool because of the number of views she gets on her videos and how people only watch them for him, not her. He also mentions how his daughter doesn't pay rent but has a lot of money and acts like royalty in his house. Furthermore, he talks about her odd behavior, scary movie, the way she dresses, and how she spends money like her mom owns a store. The song ends with the father expressing his frustration with his daughter's behavior, calling her out for being selfish, and adding "II" around her name, which could indicate the father's name is Paramjeet, and his daughter has the same name with "II" as a suffix.
Overall, the song portrays a father's disappointment and frustration with his daughter's behavior. He talks about how he has tried to guide her but feels like she is not listening to him, and instead, behaving oddly and irresponsibly. The lyrics suggest that the father sees himself as a responsible figure who pays his own bills and takes care of his family, while his daughter is spending money recklessly, ignoring her responsibilities, and behaving erratically.

I didn't want to have to go into this now but my daughter really bad and she always acting out so i diss her on this track kids hear me shout better rap than the crap coming out of lillys mouth(ohh) she think she cool she got so many views.
I didn't plan on doing this, but my daughter misbehaves a lot, so I criticize her in this song. I want everyone to know that I am a better rapper than Lilly, no matter how popular she is. My daughter thinks she is cool because of her views, but she is forgetting the real reason she's famous.
she on TV everyday on the news but they only watch for me now aint that the truth that's why they ask about your mommy daddy in your reviews.
My daughter may be on TV often, but people only care about me. That's why they ask about my personal life in their reviews, not hers.
Six Million shb and she dont pay no rent(no rent) i am overrated like i'm jumping the fence am i your mom or am i your bank accountant? Get out my house now let me buy you a tent.
My daughter has six million subscribers but doesn't pay rent. I feel overrated and responsible for her expenses. I'm not sure if I'm her mom or her bank, so I want her to leave my house and buy her own accommodation.
they say you look like your mom im like dont insult me i have curves, she wears extra large T.
People say my daughter looks like me, but I take it as an insult because I have curves, and she doesn't. She has to wear extra-large T-shirts instead.
I have 2 kids people think i have 3 they see photo of you and they ask who is he? screw loose. her mind not okay they making scary movie about her birthday her brain is backward they call her cray cray thats why she always wear her hat the wrong way.
I have two children, but people mistake it for three because of my daughter's strange behavior. She's not mentally stable; that's why they're making a scary movie about her birthday. Her brain is wired backward, so she's called cray cray. That's also why she wears her hat the wrong way all the time.
Why do you put all these holes in your face huh? you could change your name to helbig still wont have grace. And they wont call you dat grace NO. they take one look at you and they call you disgrace.
I'm questioning my daughter why she's getting all those piercings in her face. Changing her name won't change her lack of grace, and people will still call her a disgrace.
Talk back to me now take it easy. Talk back to me now take it easy. You wanna talk back to me I will cancel weefee leave your youtube channel looking like static TV.
If my daughter talks back to me, I'll cancel her WiFi and make her YouTube channel look like static TV. But for now, she should calm down and not talk back.

I'm not an expert on computers, and I'm not as wealthy as Bill Gates, but at least I pay my bills. My daughter behaves like a queen in my house, and I'm still waiting for her to pay me royalties for all her fame.

Despite having a full closet, my daughter keeps shopping more, and her clothes for tours are expensive. She's spending too much money like it's her own and not thinking about others. People may think she's on a world tour, but really, it's her mom financing everything. Despite her fame, I'm the one who hears people chanting my name.

My daughter only cares about what people want to see in her social media posts. She gets likes on videos where she features me singing as Paramjeet. She forgets about me like the pile of clothes she never folds. But I am the real boss, and I will bring a storm so powerful that even Mother Nature will tag me and write #goals.
Ten hours of labor and pain and you still so selfish it's a shame. Never think of anyone else for a change. That's why you have II around your dumb name
I went through ten hours of labor and pain to give birth to my daughter, but she's still selfish, and it's a shame. She never thinks of anyone else but herself. That's why she has 'II' in her name, symbolizing her self-centeredness.
