Sittin' Pretty

by The Pastels

Sittin' Pretty cover art

The Scottish indie pop pioneers deliver their sophomore full-length with a noticeably beefed-up rhythm section, pushing their shambolic, amateurish charm into slightly sturdier territory. Stephen Pastel's deadpan, apathetic vocal delivery remains a charming focal point amidst the fuzzy, bittersweet guitar melodies. The record stands as a definitive document of the late-80s British twee movement.
