This UK group formed in the late 60s, comprised Barry Reynolds (guitar/vocals), Brian Shapman (keyboards/vocals), Graham Harrop (bass) and Lawrence Arendes aka Larry King (drums). King, formerly of Liverpool's Wimple Winch, founded this new quartet from the ashes of Sponge, a jazz-rock unit which imploded when saxophonist Jack Lancaster left in 1968 to join Blodwyn Pig. The quartet's debut single, a version of Spirit's "Water Woman", was followed by a self-titled album, on the Decca/Nova label, in 1970. However, although they appeared live at the requisite underground haunts and festivals, Pacific Drift were unable to sustain a career and split up by the end of the year.
