Denver indie combo Pacific Pride have a deep and wide river of influences that's fed by everyone from Pavement to Pollard... OK, maybe that river's not all that deep after all. Nonetheless, the vocals of Paul Garcia do a lot to separate the band's sound from that of other noise-pop outfits; his lolling, dry singing style is half disinterested observer, half emotional wreck. Combined with the band's tendency to write songs that refract its more obvious American tastes through a prism of odd-pop icons like the Kinks and the Clean, the result is a sound that channels the clattering, energetic velocity of classic indie rock with a touch of cerebral catchiness that warrants more than a second glance.
