Indian post-hardcore band Pacifist have delivered their new Five EP today.
The five-track release was self-produced by the band with guitarist Apurv mixing the release. The release includes the electric single “Running Out,” which has an accompanying music video directed by Mehr Gupta (watch here).
Pacifist said this about their new release, which is available here:
five is communion. five is standing strong.
five is the fist that fights the good fight.
more than a number or a milestone; a statement about sticking with the hardcore ethic, about keeping a legacy alive in a world that no longer sees it as necessary. whilst living culturally orphaned in a third world that’s set in steady decline, ‘five’ is our sermon on a scarce & fast dying approach to music with plenty of emotional heft.
born in an era of modern disconnect - the radical thing to do is embrace the ideals of our past. the slow truth, tangible feelings, reality as the perceived; not projected. the missing blocks of our human existence expressed while cutting away from sterile, clinical methods of creation in the modern day & age - five is an act of rebellion, a protest to the status quo, challenging the ongoing simulated exploitation of human ability.
Pacifist will perform at Lollapalooza India on January 25 before having EP release shows in India and Nepal. Tour dates can be seen below.
