Pastlife is the second studio album by American indie rock musician Jackson Phillips, under the name Day Wave.

In a positive review, Brady Brickner-Wood, writing for Pitchfork described the album as "characteristically crisp, concise guitar pop".

[2] Timothy Monger, writing for AllMusic, gave Pastlife a three-star rating saying that "despite a handful of pretty melodies and a yawning sense of melancholia, Pastlife is rather unassuming, passing by in an affable 30 minutes of chiming guitars, burbling synths, and hushed introspection.

If anything, it is a little smaller in scope than Day Wave's earlier releases, though painted with the same palette of sounds and moods".

[1] In a staff review for Sputnikmusic, the album was described Phillips as "happy retreading the unambitious pleasantries of mid-2010’s bedroom-drem".
