PACKS Share "Clingfilm" Video, 'Take the Cake' Out Now!
PACKS' debut LP Take The Cake came out in May via Fire Talk Records (Dehd, Patio, Mamalarky) and Royal Mountain Records (Wild Pink, Alvvays, Mac DeMarco) to critical acclaim, with The FADER comparing their "reluctantly anthemic slacker rock" to Pavement and Speedy Ortiz, while further praise was heaped on the band from the likes of Stereogum, Exclaim, So Young, NPR, NYLON, BrooklynVegan, Gorilla vs Bear, Paste, NME, and Bandcamp, who called the LP "the sound of classic indie rock as delivered by a promising new voice."
The record is out on vinyl as of last Friday, and we’re sharing a video for album highlight "Clingfilm". + READ: Exclaim's feature on PACKS.
"Clingfilm is a song about timing, compatibility, and exhaustion," Link explains. "At a time when I was working on film sets and I would spend hours wrapping multi-drawered dressers and semi-fragile frames in clingfilm I started a back and forth with this needy furniture. These abstracted objects that needed hours of attentive wrapping. I hated the furniture because it was so cumbersome and easily damageable but we all avoided the guilt and shame of damaging these props by wrapping them up tight and packing them carefully."
