Toronto garage rock band PACKS have announced their debut album take the cake.

The 11-track album will be unveiled on May 21st via Fire Talk/Royal Mountain Records. Their new single from the record titled "Silvertongue" arrives with a music video directed by PACKS’ vocalist Madeline Link. The singer said this about their forthcoming album:

“The album is a meeting of old and new. Old songs from a year ago where I'm having really horrifyingly awful days at work, getting doored while biking in Toronto and flying into the middle of the street, or going on dates with guys who I'm either instantly in love with, or who end up creeping me out a bit. Those songs are more packed with that feeling of hurtling-through-time-and-space-at-breakneck-speed, manic energy. The newer songs are infused with a foggier, slower-paced disillusionment, and deal with the strangeness of a reality morphing before my eyes every day. I still try to be optimistic obviously, but these songs are really glorified coping mechanisms.”
