We're happy to confirm that The Pastels have completed their brilliant new album Slow Summits, which will be released on 27 May 2013. Vinyl, cd, download: WIGLP185, WIGCD185, WIG185D.
Slow Summits is the culmination of all the music they've been engaged in since their 1997 set, Illumination. Not quite as shadowy a presence as sometimes suggested, their music has continued to grow by way of other activities; a well regarded film soundtrack (The Last Great Wilderness, Geographic, 2003), some theatre pieces (for 12 Stars) and a collaboration with Japan's Tenniscoats (Two Sunsets, Geographic, 2009). Slow Summits gathers on all these works but moves off in newer and older ways too with its flowing montage of autumn instrumentals, pop songs, slow motion build ups and suddenly optimistic melody lines.
Recorded in Glasgow by John McEntire and Bal Cooke, and mixed in Chicago by McEntire, Slow Summits features the core Pastels lineup of Stephen McRobbie, Katrina Mitchell, Tom Crossley, Gerard Love, Alison Mitchell and John Hogarty. Guests include original member Annabel Wright (Aggi) and Norman Blake. Two-thirds of To Rococo Rot (Stefan Schneider and Ronald Lippok) contribute and Tenniscoats too. Kicking Leaves features a memorable string arrangement from Craig Armstrong, the Glasgow-based composer. It features a two drum sets approach to music, a love of elongated jams and the turnaround.
Tracklisting is as follows:
1 Secret Music
2 Night Time Made Us
3 Check My Heart
4 Summer Rain
5 After Image
6 Kicking Leaves
7 Wrong Light
8 Slow Summits
9 Come to the Dance
We're sure that Slow Summits is going to leave a deep impression on 2013 and can't wait to bring it to you.
Pre-order the album HERE.

This is from a fanzine interview that I think isn't going to come out now. Some thoughts on 1980s music, The Vaselines and what we were trying to do. Thanks to Ernest...
I recently bought the Enter The Vaselines compilation, and in the insert you interviewed the band. I found it interesting that you claimed you were the anti-twee. Whenever the discussion of twee pop comes up, The Pastels specifically are almost always mentioned as pioneers and precursors to it.
SP: I think that in the context of the conversation for The Vaselines sleeve notes, I really meant Eugene, Frances and me as a group of friends spending time together in 1986 or 87. Ive never really liked twee things or too much sweetness, but when we started The Pastels, three or four years earlier, you have to understand that in Glasgow there was a tendency towards a kind of adult sophistication in music, which we hated. We were raw and basic and we wanted to be the opposite of groups who were rushing to embrace Steely Dan and putting literature references into their songs. Our fury made us want to be more like children. But we werent twee people, not at all, its not the same thing. It was only meant to be a starting point, a zeroing out, the idea of songs for children. Soon we started to realize that our idea for a beginning had become an end point for some people and it started to feel quite suffocating. We never really understood the love of twee things and probably by the time of The Vaselines we were trying to subvert everything we associated with it.
The thing about twee that bothers me is the assumption that the band only talks about certain fey, very unserious topics, and that the music is forever naive and amateur. There is a place for that, but Ive always thought The Pastels to have a certain level of confidence in what they were trying to achieve, as in the music itself seems to be made by people who knew exactly what they wanted and wanted to say.
SP: I think that we would always accept that we were for a long time naive and amateur, and maybe in a way we were quite proud of that. But the idea of twee as I understand it is completely escapist. It can become creepy, but not in a good way. It doesnt allow for politics or sex or the totality of things. It is as you suggest, limiting.
Are there any Pastels songs you consider favorites?
SP: I like songs from different eras and for different reasons. In a way I feel my listening taste is closest to our new record and I enjoy listening to the songs on that. But in terms of different eras I would say Charlies Theme, Leaving This Island, Worlds Of Possibility, Nothing To Be Done and Baby Honey are probably my favorite Pastels songs.
Youve obviously inspired a lot of bands over the years with your music, and youre pretty much cemented as an indie icon. Are you comfortable with that sort of thing?
SP: Im not comfortable, no. I think weve done some good things, some not so good. I can look back and enjoy music we made in the past and Id like for all our music to be available, but I like looking forward too. I dont want to feel weighed down with legacy. I want to feel that we still have a lot of great things we can do.

Nyt Slow Summit on sitten ilmestynyt. Kai tuo täytyy hakea levykaupasta vinyylinä, kun mp3-koodi pelaa, vaikka tosiaan levysoitinta ei täällä ole. Joskus tulee kuitennii ostettu, siis tuo levy. On myös näköjään jo nyt Spotifyssa.

JEEEEE

We're really happy to be part of Cassette Store Day this Saturday, 7 September. When we started our group all those years ago, cassettes, like fanzines, were an immediate, easier way into things for us, and many others. It was the perfect, accessible, outsider medium. We of course got lucky and Whaam!, Rough Trade and slightly later, Creation liked our music and wanted to release Pastels records. But how did they first hear us? On cassette of course.
For Cassette Store Day we've tried to be faithful to the artform by compiling a speedy mix / comp in the way that you would for someone you wanted to turn onto a group that you like. It's a Pastels comp, so Summer Rain is a C60 (with download card) of some of our favourite music we've made for Domino, starting in 1995 with Mobile Safari and ending with songs from the Slow Summits sessions. The cover painting is by Annabel Wright.
It's available this Saturday in participating shops (including Monorail Music) and from next week online via dominorecordco.com/mart
side one: Illuminum Song / Check My Instrumental / Summer Rain / Boats / Wilderness Theme / Everybody Is A Star / Frozen Wave / Mechanised
side two: Worlds Of Possibility / Rough Riders / On The Way / Classic Lineup / Yoga / Flightpaths To Each Other / Love It's Getting Better / Check My Heart

Ei kai ne levyt mitään yltiöharvinaisia ole ja älyttömiä maksa. Discogsista luulisi löytyvän.

Paras levyhän on Mobile Safari!
