Pete Astor — Tall Stories & New Religions (Tapete)

These songs sidle in slyly, cleverly worded but not obnoxious about it, beautifully played but not in any showy way.  The elegiac “Disney Queen,” swans about in faded elegance, framed by slow, splayed guitar chords and a vaguely samba-ish rhythm, a nearly ideal avator of rain-through-sunshine British pop.  It’s sad but also wryly hopeful, sung in a warm, considering tenor that’s done a song or two and knows how it works. 

That’s one of a dozen tracks, plucked from various phases of the career of Pete Astor, the rueful, ruminative center of bands including The Loft, the Weather Prophets and the Wisdom of Harry.  He sticks mostly to off-cuts and uncelebrated b-sides on this lovely little collection, recovering ground from the 1980s, 1990s and aughts.   It’s a celebration, of sorts, of 40 years of music making, where time is always flying but no one is any particular hurry. 

Astor has gathered a low-key but excellent band of musicians to accompany him along the farther reaches of Memory Lane.  His crew includes Ian Button of Death in Vegas and other bands on drums, Paul Weller bassist Andy Lewis, guitarist Wilson Neil Scott of Felt and Everything But the Girl and keyboardist and producer Sean Read.   The music is quietly, subtly good, whether slanted towards blues in “Caesar Boots,” or swirling in echoey surf romanticism in “Ladies and Gentlemen” or rocking out, in a subdued way, on “Chinese Cadillac.” 

In my review of Astor’s last solo album, Time On Earth, I remarked on his affinity for gloomy weather, and here, too, precipitation serves as impetus for moody glamor.  “She Comes from the Rain,” a 1987 Weather Prophets single, conjures the magic of a springtime drenching, its guitar line resonant and sure amid dreaming verse and chorus.   

This set of songs sidesteps the bigger hits, but every song is still a gem, wistful and poignant but not without a leavening of humor.  Pete Astor isn’t a brand name, but if the B-sides are this good, maybe he should be.

The Loft "Live at the Moth Club" is from a recent show - March 3, 2023. I don't remember when I first heard The Loft (UK), but they led me to The Weather Prophets (Precious Recordings recently released two BBC sessions). Pete Astor is the link between these two bands.

The Loft (one of the early bands on Alan McGee's Creation label) definitely sound like they could have been on the Flying Nun label in the early to mid 1980s. Sneaky Feelings immediately come to mind. They were so short-lived that they don't appear on the excellent C86 compilation.

Pete Astor is releasing this himself on his Bandcamp page.

about.

oliver came into this this world bringing laughter, cracked up the nurses at the funny faces he would make. son of the then upcoming actor, now household name, balthazar caroll and eve astor, former child sitcom star turned model. his parents split did not mean much to him as an infant nor later in life. it meant he got two birthdays and two christmases! cha ching!

while he spent most of his infancy in los angeles, his mother moved the two of them out to boston, massachusetts after she decided to leave fame and her modeling career behind and pursue another career path. she chose to become a nurse. he found the airport to be a second home as he traveled back and forth a lot.

for most of his childhood up until , oliver grew up out of the public eye. his mother saw firsthand the damage it can have so oliver lived out a normal life with the occasional paparazzi when he was with his dad. he has some childhood photos floating around of him posing for cameras, sticking his tongue out, and flipping them off, which he was punished for.

trigger warning (parental death & boston marathon bombing) his life changed dramatically when his mother tragically passed. it was april 15, 2013. his mother was one of the nurses who volunteered to work the event for runners in need of medical attention. sadly, she died trying to save civilians who had been hurt by the first bombing. oliver was with his father at the time and vividly recalls the moment he saw it on the tv and trying to call her, only to receive her voicemail. he sobbed for days and was hounded by the press for comment on what had happened. even the private funeral was surrounded by photographers who want photos of the grieving boy.

after his mother's passing, oliver moved in with his father full-time. around then was when his father decided to move them all out to new york. he believes it may have been an attempt to help him heal as he had been having trouble adjusting to los angeles. oliver stayed out of the spotlight for most of youth, growing disdain for fame after how he was treated.

he wasn't spotted again until oliver was found doing a standup comedy set for an open mike night at Gotham Comedy Club. people were loving his self-deprication humor and comical insights on life. he blew up and eventually got hired onto saturday night live as a cast member, with a bit of writing every now and then.

his life was did not change much once he went into comedy. sure, people knew his family ties and he was an up-and-comer in comedy, but it was no different than what he was doing previously. it did change when he became romantically involved with famous singer dallas franco. soon, everyone wanted to know who this guy was and how he ended up with someone like dallas. it was a whirlwind romance which eventually lead to the two of them getting married. it ended up crashing down when the two of them got divorced. while it may have damaged dallas's career, it bolstered oliver's. soon, he was getting a comedy specials and offers in movies, and oliver was happy to capitalize on it, even though he was pissed how the media treated his ex-wife.

currently, oliver is still on saturday night live, but is branching into movie roles. but it is having some trouble branching into non comedic genres. he fears he is getting type casted.

it doesn't help that rumors are circulating questioning his parentage. oliver is aware that his mother was close with her best friend/washed up rock star, Cole Matthews, but he never believed any of it. their friendship ended soon after oliver and his mom left los angeles so he chalked it up to a falling out, nothing more. but it keeps being brought up more as he grows more successful.

personality.

the safest way to describe oliver is a mess. one moment he can be a happy, fun loving individual only to turn into a moody, conspiracy theorist who thinks the world would be better off crumbling to ash. people never know what to expect from him, but his ability to paint even the most dire situations as something comical almost makes up for it. he is honest with himself that he can be inconsistent, but he does his best to make up for it. however, he makes not attempts to change either.

despite this moodiness, most people would say he's a great guy. he has this boy next door charm that can win anyone over and genuinely tries to be a good person. despite coming from a rich and famous family, oliver is very down to earth. his mother tried to keep out of the public eye as much as she could, and even after, oliver still didn't want to be in the spotlight. he doesn’t have that cutthroat personality that some famous people seem to have, and tries to help people succeed if he can.

his romantic life is all over the place. oliver considers himself a romantic and enjoys flirting and the chase, but he stays loyal once he's found someone. unfortunately, he keeps finding the wrong one. after his recent divorce, he found people were more interested in him, which lead to more dating, but never amounted to anything serious. he blames his inconsistency and tendencies to get wrapped up in a fun side of things and put off the more difficult, emotional side of it. explaining his feelings has never been something he's good at, ask his therapist.

headcannon.

oliver has a lingering boston accent since he spent most of his childhood there.

despite having a trust fund and coming from a wealthy family, oliver is the cheapest man you will ever meet. he blames his mother for giving him values. he won't refuse to buy something, but he will try to haggle or find a cheaper alternative. generous tipper though.

oliver started off doing standup at eighteen after a friend of his anonymously signed him up for an open mic night. he likes to say he was forced into it.

he is one of the youngest cast members in saturday night live history, joining shortly before turning twenty.

oliver has five dogs: a french bulldog (sawyer), a beagle (copper), a bullmastiff (muffin), cavalier king charles (phineas), and labrador retriever (ferb). all of them are adopted. oliver is a firm supporter of 'adopt don't shop.'

wanted.

exes/flings/hookups: he's based on pete davidson so oliver has definitely had his fair share of romantic relationships. give me people who are out of his league.

i owe you everything: someone he's known for a long time and the person who got him into comedy. this person would be someone he's known for a while, so at least eight years.

friends: he's a charming, likable guy with a hint of deprecation. it could be someone he just knows from the party scene, costars, childhood friends, or maybe they've been a guest on saturday night life?

a roommate: oliver has a spacious townhouse for him and his dogs, but he prefers living with another person. gender doesn't matter.

industry rivals: someone in the acting world that doesn't like how quickly he's become popular.

for the publicity: someone he's been dating for publicity. it could be real or facade to bolster the other.

really open to anything. just a few thoughts. too tired to get my connections page up yet.

Pete Astor – “Model Village” single (Tapete’)

More good news for 2024 is that the ex-Loft/Weather Prophet guy Pete Astor has a new album out on the Tapete label. His last few for said label have been very nice and this one looks to be no different.

The first single “Model Village” (an old Loft song, BTW) is a lovely piano tune that has Astor’s distinct vocals and it seems like a tune you could enjoy during the holiday season (which of course, just ended), but it’s timeless classic nonetheless.

The album, Tall Stories and New Religions will be out in mid-March, but in the meantime, this song will carry you over until then and right into Spring!

The Third and Final Volume of Have Yourself a Merry Indie Christmas is Released Tomorrow

So, I've reached the end of a rather wonderful journey. When I had the idea of curating a Christmas album, almost two years ago now, I didn't really have a specific project in mind at all. However, the best decision I took early on was to ban cover versions (I adore all the great Christmas classics, from Bing and Nat to Noddy and Elton) but anybody can round up a crappy cover version of an all-time classic. I wanted to see if there were undiscovered Christmas songs floating around in the ether that had simply never had a fair hearing, songs good enough to be future classics, at least within the genre of Indie music.

That meant a lot of back breaking and heart breaking (there are still moments when I full-on curse a record company for not consenting to the release of a track!) work along the way. I must have listened to every Indie Xmas compilation ever recorded - day after day spent trawling through Bandcamp, Discogs, label catalogues, you tube, Xmas podcasts and blogs.

On the subject of the latter, it was chancing upon the phenomenal Christmas Underground – We are the War on Christmas (Music) that allowed the fanciful vision I had of compiling the 'Best Indie Xmas Album Ever' to crystalize into a realistic proposition. I was discovering song after song there that I was falling in love with. These songs were from bands (mostly unknown to me) from all parts of America and all over Europe (Scandinavian Indie Xmas songs is a really flourishing sub-genre), it was incredibly exciting and lead to dozens of punch the air moments as, one by one, bands agreed to participate.

In addition to discovering new songs, I also set about tracking down bands that I admired and who I knew had an Xmas song in their back catalogue. I was lucky enough to get hold of songs from Dodgy, Girl Ray, White Town, bis, Pete Astor and many more. It was around this point that my idea for a 20-30 song album began to trend to the mammoth 108-track compilation that was released last Christmas. There were just so many unbelievable songs that I had to try and track down.

An example of the obsessive hole that I was digging for myself came when I read a write up on a Minneapolis band called GLOSS (who became Poshlost) before splitting up. Christmas Underground called their song 'Gifts Received' 'the best Joy Division/New Order Christmas song of all time! From the baseline, to the vocals, to the lyrics, GLOSS have hit the nail on the head when it comes to writing a dark, pulsing, disturbing Christmas song'. You can imagine, as someone whose favourite band is JoyDivision/New Order how much I wanted that song, because, unbelievably and against all the odds, it did sound like a Joy Division Christmas song. The band had long since split up though (the song dated back to 2015) and my bandcamp messages met with silence. In the end, I tracked down a band member on Facebook and received an immediate and favourable reply. That wild goose chase was repeated dozens of times through 2022.

Volumes I and II succeeded in raising £5,800 for Crisis, nearly treble the target I had set myself, having been played on BBC6 Music, BBC Scotland, Radio X and BBC Radio Wales (each volume was named Album Of The Week by Huw Stephens). In addition, the songs were played on "indie" stations around Europe and America (thanks to Sandra and Alice for constantly playing the albums on their shows from Berlin) but also in Canada, Hong Kong and Australia. Have Yourself a Merry Indie Christmas was also shorlisted as a (Welsh Origin) AOTY by Wales Arts Review.

The main aim accomplished then, but what of my personal ambition to compile an album that would be played at Christmas for years to come? Here is the verdict: A REMINDER OF THE INCREDIBLE REVIEWS FOR HAVE... (tumblr.com). I don't think there is anything else to touch it. For example, Rough Trade, as good an Indie label as there ever was, released a Christmas comp this year (some five or six tracks are on HYAMIC too), but it comes nowhere near the quality of any of the three volumes that constitute Have Yourself a Merry Indie Christmas.

Speaking of Volume III (you may have read the tracklist already at Have Yourself a Merry Indie Christmas Vol III: Line Up Reveal - Wales Arts Review), it matches the standard of its predecessors, featuring The Wedding Present, The Futureheads, Helen Love, Euros Childs and Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard.

The project closes then, having rounded up 143 distinctive, thrilling Christmas earworms into a three volume compilation that raises money for a cause which demands urgent support. This is the 21st Century and no one should be homeless in the United Kingdom. Thank you all for your generosity in helping others and for giving these forgotten songs a home too.

A track from Volume III "Xmas Trip" by Run On

You can purchase all three volumes here Music | Various Artists (bandcamp.com) If you do that on December 1st (after 8.ooam UK time) bandcamp waives its commission, raising more money for Crisis at Christmas.

How I Spent Years Figuring Out My Book's Cover

I don't have any experience in advertising, and my digital art skills are limited, and every article on self-publishing urges you not to do your own cover, and probably they are right. But I did my own cover, and I thought I'd share some of the process. The figuring out how it should look part, not the technical part.

For a long time, I just practiced playing around with images. These weren't finished products by any means.

This image from early 2019 was one of my favorites. It's supposed to represent my protagonist Yew, reflecting on her ruined village and, by extension, some of her choices. The set up is straightforward – tragic woman gradating into a creepy graveyard. I felt it looked very similar to other covers I'd seen, which is both a good and a bad thing. A cover should clue you in to the tone and genre, so having set symbols and moods is helpful. On the other hand, you don't want your book to look like a million other people's.

Silent-film-era actress Mary Astor is standing in for Yew. The painting is by Caspar David Friedrich. To the best of my knowledge, both images are in the public domain.

For a while, I played with collages. (Pretty much all the stock photos/art is from Pixabay, which I found to be extremely helpful.) I liked the way these gothic windows formed frames, and I wanted to include both protagonists, Eider and Yew. This never made it fully into a test cover, but I did a few versions of this image, both with just photos and also including original art.

(Please admire my stock photo Iron Stag with his candle-antlers. I worked hard affixing each little flame to each little tine.)

The background I used here (Image Source: Freestock.com) is unromantically called “Plastic Chunks” in my files.

I also really like the ceiling paintings of Jules-Edmond-Charles Lachaise, so I experimented using one as a frame.

Above is a Yew cover, and below is an Eider cover.

I can't remember where I picked the asset(s?) for this background, but I suspect it was also Freestock.

I eventually decided on having both heroines front and center, each paired with an antler from one of the two mysterious stags in the story. This focal point would be a hand-drawn piece of art with less obtrusive public domain stock stuff framing it. I wanted the picture to be intricate, feel fairy-taleish, and include different elements from the story – a snake, a diary, flowers, mirror shards, a pear, seeds, antlers, and a hand mirror.

My first sketch had the basic idea down, but it was very long and skinny and with the title as part of the drawing it felt too tattoo-y to me. Though, looking closely, I see I included Pete the mule's head (upside down, just under the word “magic”), and it's sad he didn't make the final cut.

So I made the image more of a circle and worked really hard until I was proud of it.

From there, I just had to decide on which assets to use and what colors to go for. I really liked the combination of dark desaturated reds and blues in this one, along with the very gothic doily frame. However, it also felt somewhat cluttered, maybe a better design for a poster than something that was going to have text on top of it.

There's also a lot I like about this one, the cold colors, the blending of ice and aged iron. (The original title for the novel was The Iron Claws.) But again, that border felt like it would be fighting with any text thrown over it.

I was also concerned whether the central image would look too small and muddled in thumbnail, so I did this very stripped down version. I wasn't a big fan of it, but it's interesting.

(By the way, you may have noticed that none of these share the actual dimensions of my real book cover. I hadn't even done the page layout yet at this point, and this was all very much in the testing stage.)

As it turned out, I was on the right track with the earlier gothic doily cover. Aside from the hand-drawn image, I ended up going with different assets, most notably a smaller frame, deeper colors, and additional borders along the sides. (This image also isn't in the proper scale.) I did this cover over and over again, making little adjustments until I was satisfied.

What do you think? Did I make the right call?

Pete Astor — Time on Earth (Tapete)

Photo by Elena Ferreras Carreras

Time On Earth by Pete Astor

In Time on Earth, Pete Astor applies the sounds of romantic, rain-on-windows, C86 pop to late middle-aged subject matter and by doing so achieves an unlikely grace.

You might recall that as a much younger man, in 1984, Astor led the Loft in “Why Does the Rain,” a minor jangle pop classic and one of the first singles for then-nascent Creation Records. A few years later and with a slightly different band, the Weather Prophets, Astor again sought inspiration in squelchy weather in the sublimely dreamy power pop “She Comes From the Rain.” So, perhaps the best way into this rueful, ruminant solo album is through “English Weather,” which is, once again, about the weather (and not). But where before wet weather stood in for romantic or existential frustration, this time it’s a lens for the whole downhill slide of aging. A friend who’s forgotten what your name is? Sitting in a nursing home with a blanket on your knees? “Better get used to it/English weather.”

“English Weather” is especially pensive, but even the songs about youth have an elegiac tone. “Sixth Form Rock Boys” kicks about as hard as any of these tunes but remains fundamentally melancholy. It brings surf guitar licks and double claps to sepia-toned remembrance. “New Religion” with its sponge-y textures of wheezing keyboards, its steady, sprightly plod of bass, its witty disregard for canned answers to “what’s it all about” questions, shivers a little in its breezy pop choruses. And “Undertaker,” is laugh out loud funny, in a dark way, as it suggests, “Let’s go down to the undertaker, and put what’s left of you in the incinerator.” It slyly alludes to all the things that won’t matter much after a certain point, in a way that just wouldn’t be accessible to a 20-something artist.

It helps that Astor is, ahem, weathered without being diminished. His voice is rich and fluid. He’s never sounded better as a singer, not even in the glory days. The lyrics are clever, the melodies inevitable but not blindingly obvious or predictable.  A calliope cavorts through “Time on Earth” like it’s last call at the carnival—and maybe it is. But still time for at least one more ride.

Precious Recordings (UK) has cost me some serious cash over the past few years. Nick Godfrey has done what I can only dream of doing. He releases music he's loved for years and done so perfectly. The packaging and music is just amazing and he's doing all of us a service by bringing some of the best UK 1980s indie pop Peel Sessions to us.

I do own a Weather Prophets (Pete Astor/The Loft - based in London, UK) LP, but I'm frequently more drawn to the Precious Recordings releases. The Weather Prophets remind me a bit of The Woodentops, The Jasmine Minks, The June Brides and sometimes The Velvet Underground. They were originally signed by Alan McGee's Creation label.

If you live in the United States check out Jigsaw Records. They often have all of the Precious releases, but with domestic shipping.
