PACKS have shared a new single and video, “New TV“, which is taken from the their debut album, Take The Cake, out on May 21st via Fire Talk Records and Royal Mountain Records.
“I got the chance to witness a craigslist transaction of two bros selling a hideous pink couch to an eager young man with a U-HAUL,” Madeline Link explains. “As they lovingly demonstrated the LA-Z-BOY function, everyone seemed pretty impressed. New TV boxes and old couches litter curbs every garbage day. This song goes out to other people’s garbage.”
Watch and listen to “New TV” below:
Last month Toronto’s PACKS announced their debut LP Take The Cake, and their signing to Fire Talk Records (Dehd, Patio, Mamalarky) and Royal Mountain Records (Wild Pink, Alvvays, Mac DeMarco). PACKS was initially a solo songwriting project of Madeline Link that she pursued between gigs as a set dresser for commercials, the band is now a four piece, composed of Shane Hooper (drums), Noah O’Neil (bass), and Dexter Nash (lead guitar).
