On sale 9am Friday! 🚨 We are super proud to welcome Pale Blue Eyes to the Albany Arcade, support to be announced!
Born of a cross-pollination between Totnes and Sheffield, Pale Blue Eyes have been steadily grafting over a number of years to exact their modernist pop vision.
At the ship’s helm, Matt and Lucy Board are a genuine marriage of two stylistic perspectives, each bringing unique sonic tropes to the table.
It is the pair’s fascination with DIY ethic, retro synths and reminiscence that truly fuels their sound world, calling upon nostalgia and a captivating optimism.
The third part of the Pale Blue Eyes triad arrived when Matt and Lucy met bassist Aubrey Simpson at South Devon’s Sea Change festival.
Together they’ve made three albums, with several tracks from the albums playlisted at BBC Radio 6 Music. They've played three Riley sessions, toured extensively in the UK and Europe, supported GOAT, Slowdive, Sea Power, The Editors, Public Service Broadcasting, The Midnight, FEWS and more…
The band released their third album in March 25 on their own imprint, Broadcast Recordings. As with the first two albums the record has been produced by the band and final mixed and mastered by Dean Honer.
Honer has produced the likes of The Human League, Add N to (x) and Roisin Murphy and worked with countless Sheffield names from Jarvis Cocker to Tony Christie.
MOJO: “Thrilling… A shimmering Kraut-rail trip to Asgard.”
Uncut: “Joyous... propulsive… exhilarating.”
The Quietus: “A daring record… impeccable dancefloor touch.”
Louder Than War: “Astonishing… conducting Neu! on a ride to the far pop pavilions.”
Under the Radar: “Pale Blue Eyes are one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the UK in recent years. Taking their cue from the likes of M83, Slowdive and The Velvet Underground, they’ve fast become one of the circuit’s must-see acts.”
Marc Riley, BBC 6 Music: “Really, really, great sophisticated pop music ”
1st3 Magazine: “Track after track, pulsing bass and radiant synth lines throb through the floor beneath us, creating a mesmeric, magical aura…The cohesion between musicians and the skilled balance of sound is spectacular"
