Seattle pop-punk band Tacocat is also responsible for the new Powerpuff Girls Theme, if you need any more reason to get on board. Their follow-up to NVM, Tacocat’s Lost Time is just the sort of ‘90s-nostalgic pop punk the doctor ordered. Combining sci-fi and vaporwave vibes with the social-political concerns of the information age, Lost Time is filled with great singles. Whether it’s “Dana Katherine Scully,” honouring the X-Files heroine, or “I Hate the Weekend” written in dedication to the tech bros taking over the band’s home-city, Tacocat’s Lost Time scratches that topical pop punk scene.
Produced by new wave-shoegazer Erik Blood, Lost Time is also the most meticulously recorded of Tacocat’s three releases to date. Expansiv creative, catchy guitar hooks, pithy, well-crafted lyrics, and in their elaboration on anti-patriarchal themes from NVM and their debut, Shame Spiral.
“I Hate The Weekend” is the first single from Tacocat’s Lost Time, released April 1st, 2016 on Hardly Art Records.
