Will Paquin used to write in isolation – songs came together behind closed doors, in bedrooms, dorm rooms, backseats. Even the years since he cracked the door open in 2020 with “Chandelier” – a woozy, glitch-pop oddity that caught fire online that has since gone gold – have only sporadically been punctuated by the release of a handful of standalone singles and a couple of EPs. “Sometimes I keep things a secret just to make them feel like they’re only mine,” he says.
But Hahaha – his debut full-length album, out this September and still staunchly self-released – is the sound of Paquin breaking out of the bedroom. It’s loud, raw, chaotic, and full of life. And there’s no better demonstration of this than the title track. “Hahaha” is a high-voltage jolt of pure release expressly built to ignite a crowd from the very first clang of the guitar. “I wanted a song I could shout and that could be screamed right back at me,” Paquin says.
