Indie-Pop Euphoria: Up For A Bit With The Pastels
The Pastels are an indie-rock/pop group from Glasglow, Scotland. Their simple sound is reminiscent of fellow Scots, The Vaselines, with the shimmer of Echo and The Bunnymen. Front man Stephen McRobbie mutters half-catchy poetry that sounds like Morrissey on painkillers.
Their 1987 debut LP, Up For A Bit With The Pastels features "Crawl Babies", a song about reluctant adoration for a girl and a love-lorn victim who wants to "build her up as tall as a church just to watch her falling down":
The Pastels' Up For A Bit With The Pastels is available on Amazon. While you are at it, check out Domino Records for more Pastels' releases!
