about

Three years in its inception, "...I watched 10 years of pacific weather..." is an eclectic, sample heavy, slow moving foam of Shoegaze, Post-Rock, Vaporwave, and Ambient.

Australian artist P. Rosa & Kankyo Ongaku/Ambient artist Elijah Knutsen met on a music forum in 2019, and immediately began working on this album together. After three+ years of on and off work, and many, many iterations, the album has finally reached completion.

P. Rosa (Ben,) is an extremely unique and talented musician from Melbourne, with a penchant for long, driving post-rock anthems. Regarding his heavy use of samples; some would certainly characterize him as the pioneer of some sort of Vapor-Wave / Alt. Rock fusion genre. Make no mistake, his samples only seek to embolden the unique soundscapes crafted by this enigmatic Melbourne native.

Inspired by bright, warm Summer days, and the love and loss that blossoms and decays throughout, "Pacific Weather" is an orange hued drip. Characterized by P. Rosa's heavy use of samples, charging drum tracks, and "vapour-trail" esque vocals;
Ben sets the foundation for this album; 13 tracks of emotionally charged "Vapor-Rock" are present, ranging from heavy, slogging strains; "Driving Till The Fuel Runs Out," "Pinpricks Of Light..." to soft, melancholic airs; "Was Scared," "This Is Coming To An End," "Dreams Of Love 2002." Ben contributes guitar, vocals, and his unique production skills throughout.

The album chronicles three years of love, loss, dreams, and immense pain. Elijah Knutsens cloudy, smoldering guitar work is present throughout, usually drifting through the background, but sometimes heavy & up front (beginning of "Pinpricks," "Title track," "Wisteria," "Bluebell." Guitar solo on "Driving Till The Fuel Runs Out.") - Elijah also contributes the groundwork for the ambient interludes of the album; "Bella," "Golden Gate Park," and "I Die In A Blossoming Park."

The final track, "Ending Song" was conceived & produced entirely by Elijah following a series of extreme hardships, of which he is still recovering.
