In the spirit of the previous Clairecords compilation "Atlantic Flowers", we proudly present "Pacific Union" - a joint effort between Clairecords and Japan's Vinyl Junkie Recordings. Stylistically, Vinyl Junkie is Clairecords' sister label of the East. "Pacific Union" celebrates the wonderful roster of these two fine like-minded labels, showcasing the best in modern dreampop and shoegaze sounds of today and tomorrow.The common threads here should be familiar to any fan of either label - dreamy vocals, fuzzy guitar textures, swirling ambience, and generally blissful pop. Included here are twelve tracks EXCLUSIVE to this compilation, plus two previously unreleased tracks from forthcoming releases. Representing both labels are HARTFIELD and PIA FRAUS, two exclusive tracks that bookend the compilation wonderfully, as both artists are releasing material on both labels. Clairecords presents exclusive tracks from current label artists MONSTER MOVIE, AIRIEL, SILVER SCREEN, PAIK, and PARK AVENUE MUSIC, plus album tracks from SCIFLYER and HIGHSPIRE. Vinyl Junkie presents all exclusive tracks from CRUYFF IN THE BEDROOM, APPLE-CIDER, SUGARCOAT, JOHN JUHL'S CORNFIELD, SLOW, and WALRUS.This collection is a must for any fans of dreampop and shoegaze music.
