Hailing from
Athens, Georgia, by way of Augusta, the space rock outfit Pacific UV formed in
1998 under the auspices of Clay Jordan and Howard Hudson. Almost immediately
after the duo began mixing song ideas together, drummer and keyboardist Lucas
Jensen dove into the mix and the trio began honing their sound and planning
their debut album. The group sequestered themselves in the studio with Andy
LeMaster (Azure Ray, Bright Eyes) and David Barbe (Uncle Tupelo, Sugar, the
Drive-By Truckers) assisting behind the board and cut their debut, finishing it
in 2002. Before the album was officially released in September 2003, Jensen
left the band to attend grad school and was replaced by drummer Stephen James.
Though the album
was eventually released under the title Pacific UV on Warm Records, the initial
promotional copies went out to press under the title Longplay One, causing the
first item of confusion over the band's history. The second piece of
controversy, a purposeful ruse on the part of Jordan and Hudson, came when
Pacific UV issued a statement within their promotional campaign which boasted
the addition of two brand new mysterious Swedish members, Sven and Piotr. The
press, including the All Music Guide, heartily supported this claim as an
interesting fact of Pacific UV's history and one even further swallowed the
joke when the band announced Sven and Piotr changed their names to Jorge Torres
and Shane Davis to sound "more American." While bassist Torres and keyboardist
Davis are indeed genuine members of Pacific UV, it shouldn't be surprising that
Sven and Piotr never existed in the first place.
The group worked
sporadically throughout the coming years, releasing a self-titled EP in 2006
and second full-length Longplay, Vol. 2 in 2008. In the early part of the
2010's the band released a string of free mp3s of new tracks via their blog,
and delved into a darker, more electronic sound with their Chrysalis EP. The
latest CD “After the Dream You are Awake” was released in the spring of 2013.
