Having been around for over six years, Pas/Cal has released a trio of EPs, sold a few songs for commercials and TV programs and has made the world a sunnier place. After much talk of releasing a full album, they are finally here to deliver just that. Pas/Cal bring with them a sunny, melancholy chamber pop sounds similar to that of Beulah and the poppiest side of Belle & Sebastian. The happiest instrumentation you can imagine under some occasionally depressing lyrics. Whichever way you look at it, it’s enjoyable fun.
This music oozes with charm. Seeing as how it took so long to craft this long player, there are a few repetitious moments that could have been cut a little short, but that is par for the course with any album that is labored over for longer than a year or two. Rock out little gems like the precious Summer Is Almost Here, as well as the driving Little Red Radio (even though it’s a song about Christmas) are bound to blast from all the hybrid convertibles you pass as you stroll down the pier this summer. The end of the album finds a trio of cherry themed songs (Cherry Needs A Name, Cherry Tree, O My Cherry) and each song melts into the next. It makes one think the band had another EP in mind, but decided to push themselves into creating the full length they’ve been promising for far too long.

This summer, as you search for that pop organ, handclap inducing sound, remember the boys in Pas/Cal. Their catalogue isn’t unmanageable and they deliver charming chamber pop that is guaranteed to cheer you up, no matter your mood. Summer is almost over — the time to celebrate with the clever music makers in Pas/Cal is now.
