Pacific UV had a new album released on February 19 of this year and it’s a shame I missed the launch. Granted this disc will not be for everyone. It will appeal to people who love Sigur Ros but wish Jonsi sang in English. Fans of minimalism, simple melodies combined with sweeping soundscapes, or songs that seem destined to be the soundtrack to your life, they will all instantly fall in love with this album. From the opening note of Alarmist to the final farewell of Ljiv there is not a moment wasted on the aptly named Pacific UV album, Longplay 2 (iTunes).
On a side note you should take a second and check out Pacific UV’s website. It’s a minimalistic site that accurately depicts their music with a web page and the scrolling text at the bottom is priceless. You can find them here.

The album is solid from start to end, as I stated before, and it seems perfectly suited for both sunny afternoon reminiscing or long drives taken on the way to make memories. There’s something about this album that reminds me of all the good I’ve accomplished in my life and helps me to forget all that I probably should have forgotten about years ago. Some of their songs on this album sound like a mash up of Cloud Cult, The Album Leaf, and the always solid Sigur Ros. What I mean to say is that almost every song is a sprawling landscape of sound that will leave you wanting more after each and every listen. {there’s no easy way to describe the emotion that builds and builds throughout this album, you just have to hear it}
