‘The Fake Stories About You and Me’ (matinée 083) is the new EP from our favorite Brazilian band Pale Sunday! The EP is officially released July 24 but you can order it right now from the Matinée shop for same day shipping and instant download.
Previous singles ‘A Weekend With Jane’ (matinée 049) and ‘Shooting Star’ (matinée 073) and album ‘Summertime?’ (matcd037) earned the band favorable comparisons to Scottish pop legends Teenage Fanclub, celebrated Swedish pop acts Aerospace and The Wannadies, and various stars of the Sarah Records roster, among others.
The new EP features four new Pale Sunday classics showcasing the shimmering pop, warm vocals, perfect harmonies, and addictive choruses we’ve come to expect from our favorite South American indie heroes.
Lead track ‘Happy (When You Lived Here)’ is yet another irresistible Pale Sunday hit—bright, melodic, sunkissed pop with jangling guitars, rich harmonies, and sincere vocals.
‘About Your Life’ reveals a band that has been listening to its Teenage Fanclub records and practicing some fuzzy guitar grooves, while ‘That’s The Way’ furthers the fascination with mid-90’s Creation releases, mixing driving percussion with nice melodies and a catchy chorus.
Final track ‘The Winter Song’ celebrates the shortest days of the year with an especially heartfelt and melancholy song layered with carefully strummed guitars and prominent strings that build to an effortlessly cool conclusion.
The EP is a great addition to the Matinée catalog and you can get a copy now exclusively from the Matinée shop and experience our cool instant downloads! Hip record shops will have copies by the end of the month. In the meantime, you can listen to ‘Happy (When You Lived Here)’ on the Soundcloud player below.
