4.0 out of 5 stars
Slightly sinister singalongs,
By A Customer
This review is from: Up for a Bit With the Pastels (Audio CD)
Rather light and airy sounding music here, but the lyrics tell of deeper thoughts and musings. Great music for the open road and singing along, though if you stopped to ponder the content, you find yourself thinking about your own relationships, ie: "I don't mean half the things I say/Just don't believe the half that you don't like".

Come On Up!,

This review is from: Up for a Bit (Audio CD)
The Pastels have an amateurish, indie-pop jangle that mixes uncomfortably with John A. Rivers synthesizer-slick production. They remind me a lot of The Wake, another mid-eighties group from Glasgow, but they have more homespun charm and weaker vocals. Unfortunately, their strongest, purest record "Sittin' Pretty" is long out of print, but their hipster cult is widespread and slavish enough to almost guarantee a reissue. On longer, more cacophonous tracks like "Baby Honey", they remind me a bit of The Jesus and Mary Chain and Spacemen 3. But for the most part, they sound like The Stone Roses, Ride and other Brit-pop bands you can't resist singing along with. It's a style that's been around for years, but they were one of its earliest exponents.
