LA’s own indie-pop duo Pacific Air, formerly Ko Ko, recently released their EP LONG LIVE KO KO via Barsuk. An apt choice for a single “Float” is a galloping melody, hurdling through layers of whistles, tambourines and atmospheric vocals. It’s sure to be one of those songs that’s way over remixed, but it speaks loudly enough for itself. RAC did their own haunting rendition, lending itself to something very different from the original. Always hard to argue with RAC, though. The EP is a promising start for the two brothers, who credit Enya as their main influence. They’re doing their own thing, and it’s looking like that just might work out for them.
