Paycheque is the Los Angeles duo comprised of Alison Goldfarb and Jackson MacIntosh (TOPS, Drugdealer), the pair first started makic music since the early days of Covid. Today, they recently announce their full-length debut, Paycheque, which will drop on June 12, 2026 via Mansions And Millions. Ahead of the Lp’s arrival, Paycheque have hared “Generic Actress.”

On the single, Paycheque share: “In LA, when you go out, you end up spending a lot of time standing outside of whatever event or party you’ve decided to attend. You’re on the sidewalk, you’re in a strip mall parking lot, you’re on a patio. You smoke, you bump into friends, and you eventually realize you missed half the set you came to see, you never actually made it inside the gallery, the party is winding down. This song is an ode to never quite making it inside. Sonically, we think of this song as kind of a synth-pop version of an early Cars hit; it’s our attempt to make a propulsive new wave anthem.”

Paycheque began with a chance meeting on the patio of Los Angeles venue Zebulon in February 2020, just before the world shut down. Allison Goldfarb, a filmmaker and musician from St. Louis, and Jackson MacIntosh, a member of TOPS and Drugdealer and a longtime fixture in the Montreal music scene, had been orbiting similar social circles before being introduced at a mutual friend’s show. They struck up an immediate friendship and exchanged mix CDs, bonding over a shared love of sophisti-pop and italo. As the COVID lockdown set in and tours and work disappeared, the duo retreated to a garage studio to play with synthesizers and drum machines, where they discovered their chemistry extended to songwriting.
