Los Angeles-based singer and guitarist Will Paquin announces his self-released, guitar-forward, psych-laced, garage-rock debut album Hahahaout September 12th. The title says it all – an album of high-voltage creative chaos laced in something rock tends to forget: humour.
With the announce comes “I Work So Hard,” a song Paquin originally started in middle school, bearing the mark of the psych rock like Ty Segall and the Oh Sees he loved in his formative years, but recontextualized it to his current life. About the track Paquin reflects, “I kept falling into patterns of working with no purpose, going through the motions just to check off boxes. The song is about coming to terms with my own false productivity.”
‘I Work So Hard’ joins last month’s single and album title track ‘Hahaha’, a song expressly built to ignite a crowd from the very first clang of a guitar. That’s not all for Paquin though, he’s ready to take the new energetic songs on the road, with the announce of a fall tour across the US and Europe. Full routing is below and tickets are on-sale this Friday at 10am local, buy HERE.
