Album Notes & Community Reviews

'Up for a Bit With The Pastels' arrived as a defining document of the mid-80s Scottish indie scene, encapsulating an earnest and deliberately unpolished approach to pop. The recording's amateurish charm and gentle melodicism became a major touchstone for the developing twee movement and the broader culture surrounding independent jangle rock.
