What if the quietness of rural Quebec could ignite a lifelong passion for music? Join us as we kick off Season Four of the ifitbeyourwill Podcast with the remarkable Alex Hackett from Pang Attack with Yann Geoffroy (drums), and Dave Clark (keys, bass). From his early days influenced by 80s pop and his mother's love for the radio, to his journey into the indie underground, Alex takes us on a nostalgic trip through his musical evolution.
Ever wondered how creative collaborations evolve over distance? Alex delves into the intricacies of band dynamics, the highs and lows of musical partnerships, and the unique chemistry that can be fostered even when miles apart. One standout story is the unexpected yet successful collaboration with Peter Holmstrom of The Dandy Warhols during the COVID era, which resulted in the evocative track "Sea of Eyes."
Looking ahead, we explore the future of Pang Attack and the personal milestones that have influenced the band's creative journey. From the reflective themes in the song "Lowborn Man" to the integration of real strings, Alex shares his insights into the band's artistic process. As we anticipate the release of their final album in its current form, Alex opens up about what the future holds for him musically and the bittersweet emotions tied to closing this chapter. Don't miss this heartfelt and engaging start to our new season!
