Search - Pacific Uv :: Weekends

Following a move to Portland, Oregon and the release of their second L.P., pacificUV moved back to its native Athens, Georgia and spent the last two years recording Weekends. Featuring guest appearances by such Athens luminaries as B.P. Helium (of Montreal) and John Fernandez (Olivia Tremor Control), Weekends is the sound of a band diversifying: the Magnetic Fields electro-pop of "Funny Girl" or the vocoder rush of "Ballerina" find pacificUV embracing a more melodic direction while still maintaining the lush, ethereal, production aesthetic for which they are known. The lyrical inspiration for the album is the disintegration of a relationship. What does one do on the weekends once love has disappeared? The pill case inspired album art suggests one answer. Weekends is sequenced to suggest the highs and lows one might experience on any given weekend when attempting to forget the past.
