One of the most likeable bands I know and they are probably the best 2-piece emotive punk/screamo/instrumental band around.
Hailing from bari/italy PASTEL released a great split record in 2014 with Merridew and are now going to kick if off with their first full length “L’Acchiappanuvole”. So stunning to hear what Andrea and Vito recorded on this lp – the guitars are mind-blowing waving from one side to another with such a cool post-punk/blast-beat/epic-post-rock mix and the screams are crushing in like knifes – heartwarming and so intense.
“Memories cut through
Times dictated yet
Awareness is illusion
Recognize pain, when it isn’t other people’s (pain)
How ideal the being, can be human?
The sun converges trajectories, In distant ajar eras
Linear epithet left floating In stranger skies lived upwind”
(originally in italian – “Il Lancio Kàrmàn”)
