Pacificaze Captures Fleeting Beauty on “Short Life”: A Dreamy Indie Gem from Liverpool

thisaktmusic

4 Jul, 2025

Liverpool’s rising indie outfit Pacificaze unveiled a shimmering new single, “Short Life,” and it’s nothing short of a sonic daydream. Recorded at ALLO Sound with producer Jono Tringham, the track is a heartfelt meditation on the transient nature of life, wrapped in a warm haze of surf-toned guitars and shoegaze-inspired textures.

Infused with what the band dubs “Scouse indie charm meets American surf tones,” Short Life taps into influences like Slowdive, Allah Las, The Vaccines, and Tame Impala. From the opening chords, Pacificaze channels nostalgia with precision reverb-soaked guitars swirling around layered harmonies and a steady, hypnotic rhythm section.

Pacificaze · Short Life

The production feels immersive yet unforced, allowing the introspective lyrics about longing, joy, and impermanence to breathe.

What sets Pacificaze apart is their ability to merge the analog warmth of 60s surf rock and 70s psychedelia with the dreamy disorientation of modern indie. Short Life is not just a song it’s a sonic journey through golden-hour memories and moments that slip away too quickly. With a Glastonbury performance lined up and more gigs across the UK, Pacificaze is a band on the brink.
