    After the Dream is full of evocative, abstract imagery.

    Now, with After the Dream You Are Awake, released through Mazarine, pacificUV has considerably upped its game without changing a whole lot.

    While the most aggressive electronic moments are also the weakest songs here, the merging of whispery pop and fully engaged electronic production is a huge success for a band whose output has been sleepier in the past, and points toward even more exciting developments in the future.

    The glove fits, but a cheesy, mid-album cover of Billy Idol's "Eyes Without A Face" momentarily pushes the tribute uncomfortably close to I Love The '80s territory. [Jun-Jul 2013, p.94]

    This somnambulant slice of dreamy, low-key synth rock is a logical follow-up to Weekends. [No.99, p.58]
