Beacon Sound:

"Patio User Manual evokes a glazed stare at a landscape out of reach but always present. An evening after a day of having your brain flooded with information, perhaps. Sitting outside, your mind so worn it can’t focus on one thing. Encased but somehow open to the world. Not quite disassociating, but wandering deeper into the mist of what’s around. It’s disquieting, but captivating."
– Daryl Worthington/The Quietus

"In 'The Chemistry of Dirt,' one of the album’s highlights, bursts of static establish a rapid-fire pulse against glowing chords; buzzing noises twist and bumble their way across the stereo field like beetles scuttling through the soil, their shells glinting against black loam. Beneath its muted surface, it’s a remarkably vivid and pictorial piece of music. It feels like a reminder that the patio is a gateway to realms seldom considered: Step beyond the edge of your suburban deck, and a hidden universe teems with life, right beneath your feet."
– Philip Sherburne/Pitchfork

On his third album as Etelin, Alex Cobb explores the intricacies of separation and belonging using field recordings and electronics, reconfiguring the dividing line between what is artificial and natural in the process. Maintaining a sense of playful reverence and lurking melancholy in its glitchy pastoralism, Patio User Manual hums with a meticulous and singular energy. From the loops and static pulses of "The Chemistry of Cobalt" to the tension and release of "Electrical Sailing," the listener is pulled into a sound world at once ambivalent and radiant, reaching its denouement in the lovely melody that closes the final track, "Picnic at Gas Station Park".

Although the album might bring to mind the nuanced and imaginative ambient music published by labels such as Mille Plateaux, Sonig, and Silent Records in the 1990s, it is, in the end, a world of its own and very much of today. The patio as a stage for alienated life, pyrrhic in its isolation, deceptive in its promise of distinction. Orientation as disorientation, often unseen inside the frame but felt in the bones. What is out there, anyway, other than the thing we fear the most?"
