Long before Patrick Paige II knew how to rip bass, he knew he wanted to fly. "Since I was little I was obsessed with aviation," he recalls. "I wanted to be in the airforce until I got older and more conscious - no, I don't wanna drop bombs on people for no fucking reason. But flying was an obsession that started young." It's a fixation that permeates his sophomore album If I Fail Are We Still Cool?, a collection of tenacious affirmations stitched together with in-flight interludes and an unshakable sense of ascension.
