PRE ORDER
Next Friday, PACKS will be releasing their third LP, Melt The Honey via Fire Talk. The group's second LP in 12 months, the record arrives following a busy fall during which PACKS toured with Geese and Slow Pulp in the US, UK and EU. The record's early singles "Honey," "HFCS," and "Paige Machine" have seen a tremendously positive response from the press and today PACKS are sharing a final single from the LP, a track called "Missy."

Much of PACKS new LP was recorded between Mexico City and Xalapa, where the band spent time last March working at a house known as Casa pulpo, an architectural feat removed from the bustle of city life, owned and operated by Wendy Moira, the visionary behind Teatro Lucido, a prominent theatre and music venue in Mexico City. “Missy” is told from the point-of-view of a cat who hung around the practice space in Xalapa, meowling at the neighbourhood tomcat in desperation.
“She was trying not to look at us, but we could see right through her,” Link says.
The yearning in Link’s voice (“Did I get those fleas to bite you?”) is later accompanied by Lupita Rico, who contributes a spoken word verse in Spanish
