Our Take
Our Take
Ah, PALE FOUNTAINS, the band that perfectly encapsulates the whimsical charm of 80s indie pop. With their album "From Across the Kitchen Table," they serve up a delicious concoction of jangly guitars, dreamy melodies, and wistful lyrics that will transport you back to a simpler time when mixtapes were the ultimate declaration of love.
From the opening track "Just a Girl," you're immediately transported to a small town café, sipping on a frothy cappuccino while watching the world go by. The band's frontman Michael Head's distinctive vocals glide effortlessly over the shimmering guitars, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and timeless.
Tracks like "Southbound Excursion" and "Thank You" showcase the band's ability to blend melancholy with exuberance, as they seamlessly transition from wistful ballads to upbeat pop anthems. And let's not forget the infectious "Bicycles," a song that will have you tapping your feet and humming along in no time.
Overall, "From Across the Kitchen Table" is a masterclass in indie pop songwriting, with its catchy hooks, heartfelt lyrics, and irresistible charm. PALE FOUNTAINS may be a bit of a hidden gem in the music world, but this album proves that their music is truly timeless. So sit back, relax, and let the magic of PALE FOUNTAINS sweep you away to a simpler, more carefree era. Trust me, you won't regret it.

About the artist
The Pale Fountains
Pale Fountains, the Liverpool-based band that epitomized the jangle-pop sound of the 1980s, are a delightful anomaly in the music world. Fronted by the enigmatic Michael Head, Pale Fountains were known for their infectious melodies, introspective lyrics, and effortlessly cool aesthetic. With their debut album "Pacific Street" receiving critical acclaim upon its release in 1984, Pale Fountains quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the UK indie scene. Tracks like "Jean's Not Happening" and "Unless" showcased the band's knack for crafting catchy, bittersweet tunes that linger in the listener's mind long after the music has stopped. Despite their undeniable talent, Pale Fountains never quite achieved the mainstream success they deserved, leading some to label them as one of the best-kept secrets of the 80s music scene. However, their influence can still be heard in the music of contemporary artists who draw inspiration from the band's unique blend of pop sensibility and emotional depth. While Pale Fountains may not have achieved the same level of commercial success as their peers, their music has stood the test of time, earning them a dedicated fan base that continues to champion their work. With Michael Head's distinctive vocals and the band's distinctive sound, Pale Fountains remain a beloved cult classic in the world of indie pop.
