“Useless Love” is a jangly, nostalgic charmer from Patty & The Oh’s. Shimmering guitars and Patrick Weatherly’s heartfelt vocals build to the enamoring “what comes and goes,” hook — breezy and replay-inducing with its pulsing melodic whimsy. Dune Butler’s Stylophone adds a hooky, recurring melodic component during the central hook.
The psych-friendly “don’t pretend,” drop lends a hypnotic edge that plays excellently, before returning with the quaintly effective jangle-pop enthusing. “Useless Love” is a fun, resonating success from Patty & The Oh’s.
The band comprises North Alabama-based songwriter/singer Patrick Weatherly and Seattle-based musicians Dune Butler, William Mapp, and Charles Wicklander. Look out for their upcoming album, Out of Everything.
