Will Paquin – Hahaha (Crystal Clear Vinyl)

Hahaha — Will Paquin's debut full-length album, out this September — is the sound of Paquin breaking out of the bedroom. It’s loud, raw, and full of life. Much of the album feels like a time capsule — a collection of ideas and sounds that Paquin has been quietly nurturing for years. Now, for the first time, they’ve come together in a cohesive whole, shaped by the passage of time and Paquin’s current perspective. “This album is kind of like re-centering what I actually like and what I want to put out to the world,” he explains. *Hahaha* is a celebration of shared energy, of chaos, of the kind of laughter that erupts when you're fully alive in the moment. It’s a guitar-forward, psych-laced, garage-rock catharsis.
