Pacific Range comes from Los Angeles, California where the young band are true students of the endless beaches, deep canyons, magic deserts and the inimitable rock and roll that comes with it. A warm sound that does reflect those 65-75 Laurel Canyon vibes (Burrito Bros, Canned Heat, Jackson & Neil) but also pays healthy respect to the Dead, the Band, the Allmans. Los Angeles is enjoying another sunny cycle with bands like Mapache, GospelbeacH, Circles Around The Sun, The Grateful Shred and more making waves. Producer/Musician Dan Horne (known for working with (Beachwood Sparks, Jonathan Wilson, Cass McCombs and more) is principal of that scene. Dan and the band held up in Dans Liberty Hair Farm studios recording the bands stage tested material with help from friends Sam & Clay from Mapache, Duane Betts (son of Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band), Jade Castrinos (from Echo in the Canyon Band/Edward Sharpe & Magnetic Zeros) and created one of the most listenable and exciting debut albums to come out of Los Angeles in years. “All of the touchstones are there, the Laurel Canyon beauty of Neil Young and Jackson Browne, and the fluidity of Wake In The Flood-era Dead. Yet the feelgood vibes we so badly need right now somehow make it very contemporary, recalling how the later Beachwood Sparks tackling ‘Ramblin Man’ would have sounded. Perfection.”
