Matthew Schwartz from Pacifico chats with SPIN today about a topic I am also too familiar with: The debilitating ways of the music industry!
The new Pacifico album ππ¦ππ§ ππ’π³π¦ is about all manner of personal struggles with well-being. In this lengthy interview, writer Amanda Peukert focuses in particular on the single "Comatose," which makes the music biz its subject.
Schwartz says of the industry, "Youβve got to be the loudest person in every room, and, for me, that just isnβt healthy; I donβt like that." Amen!
If you want your brain taken over by an earworm, I am offering you this opportunity!
As Joshua Pickard writes in Beats Per Minute: "Trouble From The East" by The High Water Marks is a "rocker of sustainable emotional malleability, using blissed-out guitar riffs and pop-centric harmonies to examine the impact of war and nuclear annihilation. Calling Norway home, the band knows firsthand about the perceived threat of violence from just across geographical lines."

mxdwn is calling the new video for "Complicated, Confiscated" by Pacifico "stunning" this morning, saying, "The pain in his eyes is recognizable and relatable through his guitar and soft voice."
Frankly, songs performed direct-to-camera have to really go all-in to convince me and Matthew just gives everything here. I feel like ππ¦ππ§ ππ’π³π¦ (the new Pacifico album, out February 10) is brave in the raw way it addresses Matthew's personal struggles with anxiety and depression.
This record doesn't feel shrouded in third-person pondering. Like with the "Complicated, Confiscated" video, it comes right at you. I can't wait for you to hear it in full! For now, check out the video or listen where you listen.
