Frontman **Jim Lindberg**, (who is also the lead singer and songwriter of the iconic
California skate punk band **Pennnywise**) says, “_The song “Best Day Ever” is my
attempt at a postpunk Nietzchean jam about the concept of Amor Fati, the idea that
we need to love our fate no matter what it is. Jason’s video is meant to reflect
that desire to walk through life happily accepting all the carnage and calamity 
as best we can, or at least pretend to”_

**_HERE COMES OUR WAVE_** is out now on Toronto-based label **Dine Alone Records**(
home to The Dirty Nil, Jimmy Eat World, and NOBRO). It was recorded, mixed, and 
mastered by at Buzzbomb Studios in Orange, CA, across two sessions in spring and
fall of 2023. The Black Pacific, which previously released a self-titled debut on
SideOneDummy Records in 2010, showcases songs solely written and performed by Lindberg,
featuring his longtime collaborator and drummer **Alan Vega**.

_“I’ve been writing songs for Pennywise and various side projects for many years,
and I’ve amassed a catalog of hundreds of demos, literally boxes of cassette tapes
and CD’s and hard drives from the last few decades,”_ says Lindberg. _“Some of the
songs weren’t right for Pennywise, and all of these songs I worked on with Alan 
from The Black Pacific so it just made sense to put out under that name. When I 
pick up an electric guitar this is the music that comes out of me, regardless of
what name it comes out under.”_

The album kicks off with the hyper-kinetic opening track and lead-off single, **“
I Think I’m Paranoid.”** Lindberg says of the track, _“I’ve had this song for a 
while now and it was about all the senseless violence, terrorism, government conspiracies
and divisiveness that make you want to move to a desert island somewhere, but now
I’ve updated it to include hate groups, militias and global pandemics, so it’s basically
just a panic attack with distorted guitars at 120 Beats Per Minute.”_

The rest of the album doesn’t let up from there with tracks like** “No Fun**” about
sociopath dictators around the world inflicting chaos and death on innocent civilians,
and the relentlessly pounding **“Here We Come”** about the encroaching threat of
A.I. taking all our jobs and eventually replacing us completely. The lyrics on this
album are extremely timely and reflect the millennial angst that continues to build
around the world.

He explains, _“I’ve always felt the need to purge my frustration with our self-defeating
tendency to want to destroy ourselves and the planet in a never-ending quest for
power, dominance and greed, and that message is more urgent than ever so I didn’t
want to wait any longer to put these songs out.”_

But there are several tracks that are about the resignation that maybe the dreams
of acceptance and escape are the only things that helps keep hope alive. “Float 
Away” is a rare love song from Lindberg about wanting to build a raft so he and 
his wife can float away to “Canada or Timbuktu” – and in “I won’t Let You Down” 
he wistfully tells her “Somehow we’ve made it through it all” and now they enjoy
the sunsets waiting for “the flash of green, shining through the gold.”

The closing title track is Lindberg’s ‘love song to a wave.” A lifelong surfer and
member by proxy of Taylor Steele’s _Momentum Generation_, it’s hard not hear that
Lindberg finds his escape from all the carnage in the world by sharing the ocean
waves and spending time with his friends and family.

The long-awaited follow-up to their debut album, _Here Comes Our Wave_, is a powerful
and thought-provoking release from The Black Pacific. It reflects a sense of resignation
to our flawed world while remaining hopeful that love and respect for nature can
help us navigate even the stormiest seas.
