Pacifica is an Argentine indie rock duo consisting of Inés Adam and Martina Nintzel. Formed in 2021 after meeting via Instagram, the duo initially gained a massive digital following through high-fidelity covers of The Strokes and other indie revival icons.
Their sound identity is deeply rooted in the guitar-driven aesthetics of early 2000s New York City, characterized by interlocking melodic lines, tight rhythmic downstrokes, and dual-lead vocal harmonies. Unlike many of their contemporaries who lean into the 'slacker rock' or 'lo-fi' movements, Pacifica maintains a high-energy, polished sonic profile that emphasizes technical precision and melodic clarity. Their career arc is a notable example of modern digital-to-analog success; they parlayed YouTube virality into a legitimate international touring career, signing with a label after a chance encounter in New York. Critically, they are viewed as a leading force in the 'new' indie rock scene in Buenos Aires, bridging the gap between Latin American alternative music and global English-language rock traditions. Their influence web connects the lineage of Television and The Strokes to modern acts like Wet Leg and Las Ligas Menores.
