New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The Presets have shared a fourth remix of their new single "Promises". Listen to Finnish artist Luomo's distinct take on the track here (feel free to post and share). Luomo is renowned for his fearless experimental electronic music and his work with artists such as Black Dice, Apparat and Massive Attack.
"Promises" is the second official single from The Presets' acclaimed third albumPacifica. In Australia Pacifica debuted at #3 on the charts (and #2 on iTunes) and has been nominated for national radio station Triple J's Australian Album of the Year.

The Presets also released the video for "Promises" this week. The video was made by Joel Kefali and Campbell Hooper of New Zealand director duo Special Problems (Flying Lotus, Tame Impala, The Naked and Famous). A dreamy, hypercolor graphic trip of imagery both real and computer generated across a variety of formats, "Promises" is a patchwork of micro-films stitched together to make one moving macro-film. Watch the video here:
The Presets have just announced a national Australian headlining tour.

Praise for Pacifica
"From word one to the closing synth note signifying The End, Pacifica is a literary and musical sensation worthy of true scholarly attention." - Consequence of Sound
"One of the best things to happen to modern music." - LA Music Blog
Pacifica sees The Presets boldly venture into new, uncharted musical territories. Traversing both light and shade in energy and emotion, the album was produced by the band - Julian Hamilton and Kim Moyes - and mixed in Los Angeles with Tony Hoffer.
In Australia, initial critical acclaim for Pacifica is nothing short of staggering, debuting at #3 on the Australian charts (and peaking at #2 on the iTunes charts):
"One of the year's most exciting, mainstream-shaking statements."★★★★½ Herald Sun
"The list of things the Presets can't do is getting smaller by the day; the tally of successes, on the other hand, keeps expanding." ★★★★ Sydney Morning Herald
"Pacifica is a deceptively deep, rich surprise package." ★★★★ Rolling Stone (Australia)
"An album of the year contender." Daily Telegraph
The Presets' 'PACIFICA' is now available in the US via Casablanca Records.
