Underground Pacific’s Various Artists, “The Only Good Wave Is a Next One”, feels deft and elegant. Through its post-punk and new wave underpinnings- tap-hissing kicks, chunky synth-wobbles, and bleached vocals- clear, fluid top notes give the sound a modern feel. The results are refractive yet moody, careful yet powerful, mature, and considered.

This compilation features a choice array of international artists from Italians Amarcord and Italo-disco frontrunner Marcello Giordani to Leipzig-based artist-musicians New Hook.
Californian Underground Pacific’s labelmaster Cantor , Robert E. Livingood and Mexican Alf Champion contribute tracks from across the Atlantic and complete the release’s lineup.

Vinyl artwork have been curated by Italian artist Andro Malis who provides a cyberpunk-futuristic instruction manual to the release, where artists are dissected into their cyborg’s components. Special insert included.
