4/26/24.
Happy Bandcamp Friday. Here's a post about an album not currently on Bandcamp. Yes, the music is The Pastels excellent debut compilation "Up For A Bit With The Pastels", but really this is about a new collaboration between Stephen Pastel (and at times members of The Pastels) and Gavin Thompson.
"This Is Memorial Device" is the musical companion to the theater production based on the cult novel by David Keenan. Memorial Device is the fictional band in the book, and Stephen Pastel and Gavin Thompson bring the book to life with their music. Geographic (sub-label of Domino Recording Co. curated by Stephen Pastel) is releasing the album. There are two tracks currently available: "Introduction To Why I Did It" and "We Have Sex". The latter is built upon teenage recordings Stephen made with his friend Corky.
According to the Domino release page, this sounds like The Pastels in some spots and nothing like The Pastels in others. This endeavor recalls the BMX Bandits' soundtrack to the film Dreaded Light.
