The Pastels – Sittin’ Pretty June 4, 2010 at 4:57 pm

So, I love twee and I’m somewhat surprised I haven’t posted any here so far! I feel ashamed…so expect a lot more twee and less 90′s emo from me for the next few posts. The Pastels were a lovely 80′s twee outfit from Glasgow that you should become familiar with. Their vocalist is fucking fantastic and creates a sort of dichotomy with the sound and feeling. You’ll see what I’m talking about, just listen to it. Oh, and I love this from their website homepage:

“please don’t think of us as an ‘indie’ band as it was never meant to be a genre, and anyway we are far too outward looking for that sad tag”
