We’re super happy to be celebrating the release of Ruthie, the new LP from Brooklyn-based experimental pop project Pastel Hell. The newest single from the album “deals with the unhelpful seduction of nostalgia & the disaffection with one’s own inheritances. It also speaks to how a big heart’s intentions can get confiscated by listlessness.” Stream “Halo” below and find the full album on Spotify or Bandcamp.
“'Rooting for Judas' is about thriving under low expectations. The fear of entertaining a new, healthier part of yourself can be scarier (& much less expected) than total failure. But then sometimes you just want to remain obstinate & have a laugh as you take a small step toward oblivion.” - Alex Fox Tschan

“Offering three-part harmonies, driving lyrics, and a rhythm section that is utterly intoxicating, ‘Soft Attraction’ in many ways can be viewed as the quintessential example of the up-and-coming band.” - Tommy Johnson // Ghettoblaster Magazine
Brooklyn experimental pop band Pastel Hell have released the first single from their upcoming Ruthie LP. Band leader Alex Fox Tschan says the song is about “finding hope and fighting helplessness amidst profound life changes, while the irreversible affects to our climate cloak the future in doom. It is also a reminder that second chances are a gift, and to squander them is doubly tragic.”
