Paycheque share 80’s inspired guitar-driven single ‘Heatwave’

Rising from the Los Angeles scene, Paycheque offer a glamorous interpretation of ’80s pop. This Friday, June 12, the duo of Alison Goldfarb and Jackson MacIntosh (TOPS, Drugdealer) will release their full-length debut, Paycheque, via Mansions and Millions. Now, they share the final single ‘Heatwave,’ which is accompanied by a music video directed by Ian Svenonius. It centers on Roland TR-505 drum machine and jagged guitar riffs, offering a firm glimpse at the dreamy record.

On the single, Paycheque share: “Before Paycheque really started, Jackson bought Allison a TR-505 drum machine for her birthday, and we initially used it on all of our songs, but it was eventually replaced on every song except for this one, which is a takedown of the greasy charmers of the world. Not to brag, but the guitar solo was recorded in a single take. This one was inspired by the likes of Saada Bonaire and Gina X Performance – the tough Germanic hotties of the ’80s.”
