Hot on the heels of their single ‘Leaving For London’ reaching number 57 in triple j’s Hottest 100 of 2022, NSW indie-rock quartet Pacific Avenue have announced their anticipated debut album, Flowers. The record will land on Friday, 5th May, and the announcement comes sprinkled with a new lick of the LP in the form of a song called ‘Spin Me Like Your Records’.
Much like the band’s previous output, the song is an upbeat, hook-laden indie rock singalong about relatable subject matter. “The main theme behind writing ‘Spin Me Like Your Records’ was to get a fun, upbeat track that we could dance around to and have us a really nice moment in our live set for festivals,” Pacific Avenue explained in a statement.
Pacific Avenue – ‘Spin Me Like Your Records’
They continued: “We got to a point where we thought we’d finished the album and had a listening party with our label, publisher and management, and while we loved it, we all thought it could use some straight-up-and-down classic rock songs. So, we wrote our last single, ‘Leaving For London’, another album track, ‘Modern Lovers,’ and finally this single, and I don’t think the album would be the same without them. It’s just another silly song about being hopelessly into someone.”
Pacific Avenue’s previous singles ‘Leaving For London’ (#57 in triple j’s Hottest 100 2022), ‘Give It Up For Yourself’ and ‘Easy Love’ (#108 in triple j’s Hottest 200 of 2021) are also included on the forthcoming LP.
