When we think of Pacific K, we immediately recall the long conversations we had about music with Kristaps, the music industry (yeah, that whole charade), and those late-night listening sessions of his music, often past midnight. We have to admit, we miss those a bit.
And of course, it’s impossible to think of Pacific K without the melody of “Bullet”—his duet with Ingaja—instantly popping into our heads. It always comes paired with images from Luna Keller's recent music videos, which were shot in Latvia, Kristaps' stunning homeland. So, discovering a collaboration between these two geniuses might just be one of the best pieces of news all year.
Uncertainty is everywhere. You just have to turn on your TV. Or just don't. You don't want to see those war pictures, trust us. But we can do it from time to time, can't we? After all, we have to live. And this is what this song is about, as Luna told us:
"Being in my early 20's comes with a lot of seeking answers and questions around my purpose, my meaning, and where I'll end up in this life. "In a Summer or Two" is a song that acknowledges that uncertainty and that it's okay to not have it all figured out. We can learn as we go. We actually have to because if we are paralyzed by not knowing, we might end up not living at all".
We already know from experience that Luna Keller's voice pairs beautifully with Thomas LaVine, Stephen LaVine, Clouds & Thorns, Taylor T, Dominic Romano, Dom Malin, Mats Dernand, Brady Jo, Joe Pope... OMG, basically the entire IMC catalog! But we must say, the vocal chemistry with Kristaps is absolutely divine. These interwoven guitars and stunning vocal harmonies create a special atmosphere, a unique color (like the one you can see on the artwork) that makes it the perfect traveling companion.
"In a Summer or Two" is the kind of song that could sway "commercial hits" fans over to the indie side of things. It mixes brilliantly different music genres, from pop-folk to indie-rock with a touch of singer-songwriter, and that irresistible repeating pattern that will make your head shaking all along. That's something Kristaps loves, as he says:
"I love exploring repetitive guitar riffs and melodies, there's something meditative about it that just draws you in and lets your mind wander. I love how this song has turned out. It has a beautiful drive and flow that carries the listener through".
And just like "Bullet", no doubt that this one will become an IMC Classic in a "year or two" if you allow us this one.
