Lovesick Sentimental is the second studio album by the Australian alternative rock band Pacific Avenue. It was surprise released on 27 February 2026, a week earlier than scheduled, due to anticipation.[6] It had initially been announced for release on 6 March in November 2025.[2]
Upon release, drummer Dom Littrich told The Music: "This last album was a bit of a process. We had a few factors that were out of our control. We linked up with producer Doug Bowen from LA, kicking things off after our headline tour over there. But then the fires happened in LA, Harry got a bit sick, and everything was delayed. The silver lining was that it gave us a bit more time to create it all as a body of work rather stand-alone songs and singles. There's an overarching theme, but we all agree as a band that it's got this stadium rock kind of vibe. As in big sounds with lyrics that allow people to sing along in a ballad-type way."[5]
The album will be supported by the Australian Lovesick Sentimental tour in March 2026.[2][4]
