Music That Takes Me Places

PASTEL, SOULS IN MOTION

PASTEL
Early '90s Britpop, shoegazing, and psychedelic rock are alive and well thanks to a number of rising UK bands, including Manchester rockers Pastel. The five-piece has quickly become known for blending these nostalgic influences with a modern sound. Drawing inspiration from The Verve, The Charlatans, Shack, and Ride, Pastel crafts songs built on dreamy melodies, steady rhythms, and a blend of vintage and contemporary rock elements.

Their 2021 debut EP, Deeper Than Holy, marked the beginning of their rise, and in 2022 they made history as the first unsigned band to support Liam Gallagher at his iconic Knebworth shows. Now Pastel has finally released their highly anticipated debut album, Souls in Motion. Fusing shoegazing, psych-rock, and Britpop, the album is built on heavy layers of guitar, driving rhythms, and sharp melodies. Listening to the album made me nostalgic for what once was, but also excited for what Pastel is doing today.

Music has always been an important part of my life. My family and friends knew this well, often asking me what I was listening to and what I liked. It was always humbling to be asked, and eventually, I gathered the courage to create this music blog—to put into words what draws me to certain music and why. Over the years, my passion for writing has grown, along with my excitement for sharing musical discoveries. I hope your time here sparks excitement and leads you to a musical discovery of your own. More than anything, I hope your visit brings a little joy to your day.
