Any opportunity to post The Blue Nile, they are (were?) a truly great band. It's a pity that they weren't more prolific but then again their perfectionist approach to making music resulted in gems like this song and excellent albums such as A Walk Across The Rooftops and Hats.
Their debut album Rattlesnakes is an album I'm digging a lot lately. An amazing album from beginning to end. I love the way this song builds and builds.
The shambling charm of The Pastels is hard to resist. Their vocals are dodgy, their musicianship leaves a lot to be desired, but I can't imagine it any other way. You can't go wrong with good catchy songs like this.
I might have posted this somewhere before. Even though it was released in 1987 it has a very early-90's shoegaze quality to it. They're also from Cocteau Twins' neck of the woods.
