Paycheque – When You Are Around

Their stellar 2023 debut single "Next In Line" was one of our favorite songs of last year and remains in heavy rotation around here, and today LA-based duo Allison Goldfarb + Jackson MacIntosh -- aka Paycheque -- officially go 2-for-2, as they grace us with another twinkling, dreamily yearning, late night synth-pop gem. Be transported out of time and place by the misty nostalgic glow of the song's video, which looks like it could've legit been taped to VHS off an afterhours MuchMusic broadcast in 1985 on a VCR with tracking issues. Directed + edited by the group's own Allison Goldfarb, with performance footage shot by Christina Bryson. Buy the song on Paycheque's bandcamp here.
