Pack A.D.- It Was Fun While It Lasted (2020)

Posted by KB on 5/18/2020 to Reviews In Brief
"It Was Fun While It Lasted" is a break up album. The duo, Maya Miller and Becky Black, have decided to go on indefinite hiatus which is presaged by the album's title. If IWFWIL happens to be truly their last then they did it right. Their grungy, garage rock is pretty powerful evoking Royal Blood, Little Hurricanes and vintage Black Keys with prominent, booming drums and echoed power chords. Their songs have chorus hooks that take them to a new level instantly drawing you back in if you by chance were losing interest. It is an uneven release being strongest on the thumpers with a couple of mid-tempo skippers. In any case, nothing on IWFWIL feels like they have lost a step or faith in creating with each other, which leads me to believe that this may not be their permanent swansong.
