PACKS has announced a new EP called WOAH, the official follow-up to last year's full-length Take the Cake. And alongside the announcement, they've also shared the EP's sparse and insular lead single "don't go for the goat's milk."
In a statement about the EP, which arrives July 8 on Fire Talk, PACKS' Madeline Link said:
These songs began when I got back in November from our US tour with Wombo. I had lost my voice completely and it had a nice scratchiness to it as it was coming back. Someone suggested I record a whole album of songs while my voice was like that. "Father's Truck" was first. It came from a fever dream I had in a dander-steeped basement in Boston.
About the understated, gently-strummed "don't go for the goat's milk," Link said, "sometimes I like to start my day with a little cup of cold goat's milk. This song began when my parents poured some of my goat's milk into their morning coffee and wondered what that weird flavour was. Then of course it turned into a soggy, water-logged love song."
