I'd be quick with these as they're hand numbered of 500 and there's quite a bunch of you who dig these guys. When I picked this up I thought it said Gay Dad and it brought back loads of terrifying memories (not of the band but of repressed childhood memories....) So here's a 7" with a couple of new tracks on. The production sounds more lo-fi than the album but they still sound like they cut the mustard with tunesmithery as there's a couple of wee party bangers here. It's quite a lot like early Fall.... especially with the rhythm section ploughing through the song like a runaway tractor. As fun as it is it's nothing particularly new or exciting and I can't imagine 'em winning over any new fans with this single. Should keep the old ones happy though for the mo!
The Soft Pack celebrates their jump over to the tanning rays of Mexican Summer with a brand new single. “Gagdad” sprawls across both sides of a 7” with a party-starting organ groove, slamming drums, and the unmistakable vibes that one of our catchiest acts has no trouble bringing across. No matter what time of year, the distinct Fall/VU groove of “Gagdad” will convince you to don some shades, make it down to your nearest body of water, and get your own beach party happening, under the auspices of no man-made laws.
