Pacific UV - Longplay 2

Ghostly, subconscious haunt/float music that thankfully […] never goes away” - The Big Takeover.
“... A masterpiece... soothing whispers, quietly droning guitars and electronic blips” - Rolling Stone
The droning ambience that once prevailed in Pacific UV’s work has countered itself with something more sinister - resulting in an album that balances itself perfectly between noise and melody.
Think Phil Spector directing Kevin Shields as Pink Floyd and you might get the idea. Several songs on ‘Longplay 2’ are textured, languid laments similar to the first record, while others, like the ten minute long ‘Orson’, are dense noisescapes which threaten to collapse in on themselves. Lyrically there’s something added as well, with words invoking a mood akin to the ambient shadow of a Lee Friedlander photograph or the dripping Southern Gothic intuition of a Tennesse Williams script.
