In 2007, the band had already produced three 12" EPs (Number One, Sunset Blvd, Hot Lips) on Dolores Records in Sweden. The following year, Pacific! released their full-length debut, Reveries on February 27. All of the releases from the album feature artwork by Stephane Manel. The members consider the band to be a “studio” band, but they do tour occasionally.
Reviews from the Swedish press have been reported to describe the music produced by the duo, "as if a pair of flying shoes got a recording contract" and "as if Brian Wilson sang on the tram to Saltholmen to the tunes of Air".
Recently picked up by Alan Braxe’s renowned label "Vulture Music", Pacific!’s retro-futurist identity has met its match. Their sophomore LP, Narcissus draws on conceptual inspiration from the classic Greek myth in its story of unrequited love, unspoken truth and self-effacing emotion, yet all the while retaining the debonair signature sound that has already earned so many followers.

Yes you are
.I'll always be a fool
Don't get a hold of yourself
