The new track from Pacific titled ‘Clarity’ definitely shows the massive evolution into the realms of originality that the band has culminated to. I say this because I have followed the band for coming up on half a decade. This band had a massive sound then. But now, the evolution takes a massive step forward with a musical ‘clarity’ often lacking in most artists these days. The hooks that have made Pacific such a force are still there but amplified. And the piano-driven sound that they have become well known for is taken to a next level in that the keys become a more refined part of the overall sound. These guys have obviously been critiquing their own work over the years, making their sound go from great and brilliant to great, brilliant, and lasting. I said this before in our interview with them back in the day, they have the power to last. And now they show that power. This is how music should be.
Pacific’s brand new single ‘Clarity’ released on Friday 1st March 2019. The band’s first two gigs of 2019 have sold out at The Salty Dog, Northwich in January and Jimmys NQ, Manchester in February – and with gigs coming up in London, Leeds, Sheffield, and Liverpool, Pacific look set to reach new heights over the next coming months.
About ‘Clarity’
Pacific continues to bring the piano back to modern indie with a vengeance with brand new single ‘Clarity’. Powerful hooks and a momentous chorus, ‘Clarity’ soars, exclaiming what you’d do to spend “one more minute” around the one that got away. Recorded with The Prodigy producer, Dave Pemberton in Manchester, Pacific is set to hit new heights with this instant anthem.
