Description / Review:
————————
Pretty essential update of an essential early 90’s comp compiling mostly A-sides and early album tracks. “Comin’ Through” was the first Pastels I ever heard – a weirder take on the Smiths without the Morrissey annoyance (and fantastically out of tune). I ran out and found the 12″ quickly becoming a fan. For some reason, I traded everything of theirs but that single and would love to fill gaps if anyone feels so inclined. New LP this year is a favorite for sure.
“Collecting most of the singles the Pastels released on Fire, A Truckload of Trouble: 1986-1993 is a fine introduction to any newcomer and a vital piece of any fan’s collection. These songs see the Pastels at their shambolic best, whining guitars blazing and ringing, alternating slurred and dreamy vocals punctuating the finest ever C-86 tunes, and blending pop and punk in the most aesthetically sublime way. Throughout the album’s running time, one can’t help but marvel about the sheer number of bands these songs inspired, and repeat listens make it obvious that the Pastels were a stepping stone between so many great bands and styles. In bottling up and mixing potent influences like the Fall, the Ramones, the Smiths, and the Velvet Underground, they opened the door for further experimentation by offspring such as Yo La Tengo, My Bloody Valentine, Magnetic Fields, Built to Spill, Beat Happening, and Belle & Sebastian. As steeped in the classics and as inspirational as these songs are, their most glaring attribute is just how catchy, raw, and invigorating they are. Though it covers periods of major lineup changes and rampant stylistic shifts, Truckload of Trouble is a cohesive listen from start to finish and a vital portrait of a band marching to the beat of different drum.”
