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.
Sunset Blvd
Pacific! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you just get it right. it's a natural high
yes, you understand who you're living for
when you're going out. it's a natural high
you're my funky love that I always hide
it's a little thing like a child's pure revelation
the one you hide for life, baby
when you come to me like a dream at night from the hills above
like a sunset right sensation. the one you hide for life, baby
In Pacific!'s song Sunset Blvd, the lyrics speak to the feeling of being in the right place at the right time, and having the sense that everything in life just falls into place effortlessly - this sensation is described as a "natural high." As the song progresses, the lyrics become more intimate and personal, with the singer addressing their lover as "my funky love." The reference to hiding this love "for life" suggests that the relationship may be taboo or secret in some way.
The second verse evokes the image of a dreamlike encounter with this lover, with the metaphor of a sunset indicating a moment of intense beauty and passion. The song seems to be about the joy and fulfillment of a deep romantic connection, and the sense of wholeness that can come from finding someone who truly understands and supports you.
Overall, the lyrics to Sunset Blvd suggest that true happiness can come from finding the right person and embracing your love without shame, even if it goes against societal norms.

Always turned this song on in University, every time my Sim was hanging out, having dinner with friends, and pulling prank in the dorm. Wished I could have such an experience in real life. Sweet old memories...
