Patience Gloria combines the superb musical ability of Charles Malave with the creative writing talents of Michael Dobbins. Just like Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Malave arranges the music and sings while Dobbins writes the lyrics. The result is a fun-loving indie pop sound full of catchy hooks and smart melodies. Many listeners have compared their music to the The Flaming Lips, The Beatles, Ween, and Bare Naked Ladies.
