Celebrate 20 yearS of anthology with pacifico’s lost album, the weight of california
In 2004, following a failed attempt to relocate to California where Pacifico played a series of showcases, including a performance at the world-famous Whisky A Go Go the band returned to Georgia with little more than the clothes on their back and songs they had been working on. Over the following year, they completed the writing and recording of what was intended to become Pacifico’s first full-length album.
Instead, the band dissolved.
The songs were finished, and left dormant burned on a CD until two years later in 2006 when ALLALOM, a indie label from Portland Oregon, took them, and every other unreleased Pacifico track, compiled them together, and created our Anthology and Side B albums.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of those releases we decided to take the original recordings and have them finally mixed, mastered, and compiled together into the full-length album they were originally meant to be.
What you hear is everything we we found, some parts we didn't remember creating and some parts were lost to time. Together, they form a snapshot of Pacifico at a particular moment: a collection of songs written, recorded, abandoned, rediscovered, and finally given the chance to exist as they were always meant to.
We invite you to hear the story for yourself.
This is Pacifico’s The Weight of California.
