Pash is a twee indie pop project from Australia, featuring Joseph Buckmaster, Jemimah June, Jackson McCarthy and David Gauci. The fact that they describe themselves as shy and introspective doesn’t stop them from coming to the fore with this Skylight EP, following up on their 2021 Somersault EP and 2020 double A-Side cassette Demonstration. The lyrics of the three songs here explore themes of fantasy, hopelessness, desperation and embarrassment – wanting something you can’t have, or somewhere you can’t go – which fits well with the hazy vocals and synthy, melancholic sound of the music, that will appeal to fans of Sarah Records’ work. The title song with which the EP opens is the most subdued, after which lead single Possession and focus track Fantasy become more and more upbeat, as if the foursome gradually feel more and more free.
Skylight is out now digitally on Dinosaur City Records.
