The PASTELS - 'Baby Honey' - 12" 1984

[@indiekiddrugpatrol3117]

As a 21 yr old nowt will ever top obscure 80s and 90s British indie

日本からこんにちは。 今でも聴いてます。 今も熱い。

[@w.g.hunter1300]

I've always thought this sounds a lot like The Clean. Great song!

[@etamommy]

deep beautiful and droney groove.... just excellent!

[@corneliasfudge]

I've had this song in my head for 25 years, forgot it was the pastels. This and "I wonder why".

[@thorts]

Just found this band now in 2024 ❤

[@mrbeard6263]

This melody is gonna be around my head for a while

[@softlystroll]

Thanks. A great song. Listening to this you see where the Jesus and Mary Chain obtained some of their early influences.

[@carlucci69able]

Indeed! Just thinking the same!

[@drstevie]

Beautiful.

[@danielneufeld]

favorite version of this song! thanks for posting!

[@Onanation]

Thanks - I was living on the Amberley RAAF base when I first got this 12". I drove eveybody mad with it. Just a great, great song.

[@sparklechopz]

Great record sleeve - I love all the doors and windows and chests of drawers

[@bendfuture]

I had the album in 1987 but now I can trace a line from Miles Davis Bitches Brew through Can and other type bands to this its amazing!

[@startervisions]

reminds me of Love And Rockets

Nice Song

Music is the dark side of our heart. Pure.

[@EponaDreams-AmbientDreamscapes]

I bought this album in the mid 80s. It seems even more psychedelic now. Reminds me of The Green Pajamas, Summer of Lust album - check that out too

[@avalyn84]

just...wow. in love.

[@hrhcrab]

yes yes indie annie jones! can't believe that you had no comments for this awesome submission! :D

[@TheMauvetys]

The combination of the instruments is efficient

[@ieatspiders77]

Classic!

[@TheZeevik]

PRETTY THE 80S

[@davidcowan4942]

I feel lucky to own this 12 inch. Got them all to be fair

[@EndOfEntertainment]

Cool stuff :)

[@williemillerstache]

Keep up the solid work on those comments folks. Amazing stuff....no, really, do go on..."the use of instruments is so effiecient" on this 'Pulp Fiction'-like "surf rock". Isn't it just! Hey Stephen and Katrina - I can see why you are desperate to release a new record in this lifetime with this kind of appraisal.

[@kierannee528]

well get you

[@akis723]

Glasgow's finest

[@absolving]

Fucking iconic

[@frankjurga]

I love this - I like to imagine this is the music that would have been created if The Doors and Velvet Underground had got to jam together. If you like this as much as I do have a look at and listen to Wooden Shjips - We Ask You To Ride

[@bra5081]

I would say The Velvet Underground meet the Modern Lovers

[@arnaudjulien8618]

Tu es le roi la blat. Les deux groupes cités n'ont à voir, des styles très différents. Faire un mix des deux groupes donnerait une bouille innomable .

[@arnaudjulien8618]

Blague

[@Missholy1]

raw

[@softlystroll]

@dogmavskarma Yes, I was aware of the time frame thanks. I was trying to say that they both evolved out of the same creative mileau.

[@pbamcp]

Velvet Underground all the way

[@telepathy3001]

great avatar btw, peter!

[@pbamcp]

that's me at Borobudur :)

[@krasteff]

To me sounds like early Pink Floyd.

@softlystroll they formed a year apart. it's not the beatles to the strokes or something

[@greentambourine2323]

Drums being bashed away there like Mo Tucker, classic Glasgow indie

[@midobecker1]

This is great music, however it's far from being new. This song is from 1984 and added to their 1987 album.

Is this Surf Rock? You know, like the Pulp Fiction Soundtrack's crazy guitar riffs.

[@Slothretro]

Sounds lik post punk

[@bra5081]

It's p-p-p-post-post-punk

[@gottlobfrege1527]

I've known wet socks that were better singers than Stephen McRobbie yet he felt he had the right to criticise other bands for being shambolic.

[@bra5081]

I have socks that have better taste than you. Stephen is an amazing singer.

[@gottlobfrege1527]

@@bra5081 What planet are you on? Your socks certainly have more soul than Mr McRobbie's "voice".
