The Pastels are a group from Glasgow, Scotland, UK. Their early records (1982-85) for labels like Whaam!, Creation, Rough Trade, and Glass Records, had a raw and immediate sound, melodic and amateur, which seemed at odds with the time. But an emerging fanzine culture identified with the group's sound and image, and slowly The Pastels started to influence a new wave of groups, which interested the NME and other UK media.

- The Pastels are a group from Glasgow, Scotland, UK. Their early records (1982-85) for labels like Whaam!, Creation, Rough Trade, and Glass Records, had a raw and immediate sound, melodic and amateur, which seemed at odds with the time. But an emerging fanzine culture identified with the group's sound and image, and slowly The Pastels started to influence a new wave of groups, which interested the NME and other UK media. The Pastels sound continued to evolve and, although part of the NME's C86 compilation, in interviews they always sought to distance themselves from both twee and shambling developments. Their debut album, Up for a Bit With The Pastels (Glass, 1987) moved from garage pop-punk through to ballads with synth orch splashes. The follow-up, Sittin' Pretty was harder but less eclectic. Reports started to appear in the UK music press that the group was splitting up. Eventually it became clear that a new line-up was configuring around original members, Stephen McRobbie and Annabel Wright (Aggi), now joined by Katrina Mitchell. This line-up is probably the best known of The Pastels' various phases, and often featured either David Keegan or Gerard Love on guitar. They signed with the emerging Domino Records and completed two albums, Mobile Safari (1995) and Illumination (1997), which showed them developing an odd, particular sound - melancholic and awkward, but warm and engaging. A remix set featured My Bloody Valentine, Jim O'Rourke and others - Illuminati (1998). Their most recent release is the soundtrack to David Mackenzie's The Last Great Wilderness (Geographic, 2003), which, made for film or not, is one of the most 'complete' Pastels albums. It features a track recorded in collaboration with Pulp's Jarvis Cocker. In 2006, The Pastels developed and completed new music for a theatre production by Glasgow based company, 12 Stars. The Pastels now operate their own Geographic Music label through Domino, and are partners in Glasgow's Monorail Music shop.
- The Pastels oli vuonna 1982 Glasgow'ssa, Skotlannissa perustettu yhtye. Se edustaa indie-rockin twee/shambling/anorak pop/C-86 kutsuttua liikettä. Sen jäsenet olivat Stephen Pastel (laulu/kitara), Katrina Mitchell (rummut/laulu), ja Aggi Wright (basso/laulu). The Pastelsin innoittajina ovat toimineet muun muassa Velvet Underground, Teenage Fanclub ja The Beatles. The Pastelsista puolestaan on intoutunut saman genren skottikasariyhtye Talulah Gosh, joka on Pastels-fanaattisuuttaan tehnyt kappaleen "The Day She Lost Her Pastels Badge". Tunnetuin Pastels-fani lienee kuitenkin edesmennyt teini-idoli Kurt Cobain.
- The Pastels est un groupe de pop-rock britannique originaire de Glasgow, fondé au début des années 80 par Stephen Mc Robbie . Leurs premiers singles sortirent à partir de 1983 sur des labels confidentiels tels que Creation Records, Glass Records ou Rough Trade. De cette époque datent des chansons cultes comme "Million tears" ou "Baby Honey", merveilles pop au charme rehaussé par une production encore artisanale. La sortie de leur premier album "Up for a Bit with the Pastels" fait d'eux un des groupes phare de la vague C86 lancée par la compilation éponyme de la revue britannique New Musical Express. La carrière du groupe se poursuivra au même rythme nonchalant d'un album tous les quatre ou cinq ans et des tournées trop rares. Il faut dire que les Pastels n'ont jamais été un groupe professionnel, les membres de la formation exerçant tous une profession (Stephen Pastel est par exemple bibliothécaire). Jamais populaires, les Pastels ont constitué une influence majeure pour bon nombre de groupes d'indie-pop britannique apparus plus tard. A Glasgow même, des groupes comme The Jesus and Mary Chain et plus tard Teenage Fanclub ont été influencés par l'alliage mélodies/ guitares saturées inaugurés par les Pastels, que l'ont peut voir comme l'un des grands ancêtre de la noisy pop. Des groupes majeurs comme My Bloody Valentine, Nirvana ou Sonic Youth citent les Pastels parmi les groupes qui les ont influencés. Les Pastels sont donc à ranger dans cette catégorie de groupes à l'audience restreinte, mais dont l'influence sur le milieu musical a été forte. La phrase attribuée à Brian Eno sur le premier disque du Velvet Underground, "qui ne fut écouté que par mille personnes, mais qui toutes formèrent un groupe" pourrait sans doute s'appliquer à ce trio de Glasgow qui a lancé, tout seul dans son coin, la révolution de la noisy-pop britannique.
