“Pitter Patter” shows the consuming, affecting sound of Max Gowan, producing a guitar-forward meshing of rock and folk. There are shades of The Replacements in the aesthetic. A blend of acoustics and twangy reflections lead to a breezy vocal presence. The “I’m not gonna leave you now,” line leading into the “pitter-patters of my heart,” hook makes for an especially memorable moment. Gowan, who produced and recorded the track at his home, impresses with a memorable sound throughout.
