New Dream Pop From pacificUV

1897As I float hazily through my day, I find myself drawn to this new song “American Lovers” from Athens based pop group pacificUV.  The song has that dreamy quality to it that evokes images of people standing on a beach staring out into the ocean.  I’m also digging the clean guitar in the background that almost has a sort of new wave twang to it.  You can also hear more new music from the band on via a sampler on their bandcamp page.

New album After the Dream You Are Awake is due out May 12th on Mazarine Records.

Hypnotic Electro-Pop from pacficUV

Pacific-UV-Pacific-UvI always have this preconceived idea about Athens, Georgia, at least in referencing the city’s musical history.  But, with bands like Twin Tigers and now pacificUV coming into their own, perhaps my ideas will begin to change a bit.  This tune has a hypnotic electro beat that just grooves the whole way through.  You’ll also find some rad interplay between male and female vocalists that really ups the ante on mass appeal.  The band has a new record titled After the Dream You Are Awake, which comes out on May 14th via Mazarine Records…but if you can’t wait, they have a sampler HERE with a few new tracks, as well as some of their other career retrospective tunes.
