Pacific Avenue released their latest single, ‘Spin Me Like Your Records’, in February 2023. The track will join 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) on the forthcoming LP.

‘Spin Me Like Your Records’ and ‘Leaving For London’ were last-minute additions to album track listing. “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,” the band explained in a statement.

This led to the composition of the two aforementioned singles as well as another album track, ‘Modern Lovers.’ “I don’t think the album would be the same without them,” the band said.
