The Pastels really shine

"Glasgow, Scotland's Pastels really shine here, particularly on the song "Yoga," which sounds something like what the Velvet Underground might have produced had they, like the Archies, had their own Saturday morning cartoon. In fact, the Pastels move beyond the "shambolic," an adjective frequently used to describe their sound and demonstrate why they are, in fact, one of the great unsung rock bands of our day. Long may they continue to shine and to make joyous guitar pop like they do here."

Gets better w/ every listen.

"I highly recommend this. It's happy music for mature lighthearted people. Never mind the quality of singing--just smile and look at the sky and notice how the sun brightens everything up."
