Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream

Swedish-UK electropop collective Pacific! has released their debut long player Reveries, a collection of soft-spoken but profoundly enjoyable pop delights.  Fans of The Softlightes or even Air will really derive some good-hearted fun from Reveries.  Hints of some old Southern riffs (see the bridge in “Silent Running”) and heavy doses of synths make Reveries  a booty-shakin’ wonder.
