Editor's review
Pas/Cal triangulate cleverly between indie schools: the shimmery melodymaking of a Belle & Sebastian collides with the blissed-out chaos of Broken Social Scene, and stiff rhythms nod at post-punk. The idea is that indie rock shouldn't be too orthodox or too serious.
Biography
Detroit indie pop alchemists PAS/CAL are set to deliver their long-anticipated full-length debut, I Was Raised on Matthew, Mark, Luke & Laura, on July 22nd. Continuing in the tradition of their insanely well-received catalog – for the uninitiated, that’d be Dear Sir EP, Oh Honey, We’re Ridiculous EP, and The Handbag Memoirs EP – mastermind and namesake Casimer Pascal and company have created a bewitching concoction of breezy pop, krautrock, Stereolab references, and general genre-flaying strong enough to convince Detour Mag to coin the following lengthy hyphenate: "Spectorian-kraut-baroque-weird-pop." The lead leak from the album, "You Were Too Old For Me," has already earned a boatload of praise. Hear it for yourself below.
