Our Take

Alright, buckle up music lovers, because we are about to take a trip down Pacific Street with Pale Fountains. This album is like a cheeky pint of lager on a sunny day - refreshing and oh-so-British.

The Liverpool-based band delivers a delightful mix of jangly guitars, dreamy vocals, and infectious hooks that will have you tapping your foot and swaying along in no time. From the upbeat opener "Palm of My Hand" to the melancholic ballad "Jean's Not Happening," Pale Fountains showcase their versatility and songwriting prowess throughout the album.

Lead vocalist Michael Head's distinctive voice is the icing on the cake, adding a touch of whimsy and emotion to each track. It's like he's whispering in your ear, telling you stories of love, loss, and everything in between.

The production on Pacific Street is top-notch, with each instrument shining through in the mix. The lush arrangements and subtle nuances make for a truly immersive listening experience that will have you coming back for more.

Overall, Pale Fountains have crafted a timeless album that is both nostalgic and current. So grab your favourite record player, pour yourself a cup of tea (or a pint of lager, if you prefer), and let Pacific Street take you on a journey through the streets of Liverpool and beyond. Cheers!

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.
