Canadian indie rock act PACKS have announced their new EP today.

Titled WOAH, the eight-song release features stripped-down versions of new tunes written following tour. PACKS’ vocalist Madeline Link said this about working on the release:

"These songs began when I got back in November from our US tour with Wombo. I had lost my voice completely and it had a nice scratchiness to it as it was coming back. Someone suggested I record a whole album of songs while my voice was like that. father’s truck was first. It came from a fever dream I had in a dander-steeped basement in Boston."

The first single from the EP titled "don't go for the goats milk" can be heard below. Link said this about the new cut:

"Sometimes I like to start my day with a little cup of cold goat’s milk. This song began when my parents poured some of my goat’s milk into their morning coffee and wondered what that weird flavour was. Then of course it turned into a soggy, water-logged love song."

WOAH will be released on July 8 via Fire Talk. Pre-orders/pre-saves can be made here.
