2025 begins with it’s first eagerly anticipated, sparkling debut album Souls In Motion by Swansea/Manchester band Pastel.

Pastel are a 5-piece guitar band. Fronted by Droylsden (Manchester) cousins Jack Yates (singer) & James Yates (guitar) with Liam O’Shea (Bass), Joe Anderson (guitar) & Rhys Wheeler (drums).

Souls In Motion is the ten track album laced with all the shoegaze and madchester vibes, bringing a warm familiar feel to the listener, pure nostalgia. A nod to the all the greats of the past that are clearly a huge influence to the young band.

The album is full of relentless bass, glittering guitars, hazy and uplifting vocals that you can picture being sung along to, real crowd pleasers, anthemic. Each track better than the last.

Pastel have certainly delivered with this album, an exciting start to the year for the band!

Souls in Motion is out now on all streaming platforms.
