Mexican Summer

Mexican Summer is an independent record label based out of Brooklyn, NY. They release the work of adventurous musicians without the limitations of genre or form. Mexican Summer operates in tandem with Anthology, a book publisher and archival record label. Anthology focuses on responsibly licensed material, compelling design, and definitive presentation.

The Soft Pack began their career as the Muslims, releasing a couple of witty, sharp-edged singles before negative comments about their name forced them to change it. However, everything else about the band’s smart, strummy sound remained the same, as their excellent Muslims EP and self-titled debut album proved.

Black Lips

Pop rockers the Soft Pack are back with a follow-up to 2010's self-titled debut. After two and a half years of straight touring, the Soft Pack used a well-earned vacation to recover and recharge. Opting to self-produce Strapped, the band experimented with expanding their sound, eventually whittling 80 demo ideas down into 12 songs. The Soft Pack promises the same straight ahead, fuzzed out rock of earlier efforts, but also cite revered songwriters like Carole King and Elton John among recent influences.
