Pale Blue Eyes

Sonic Yorks vs. the richest Devon cream-pop

Born of a cross-pollination between Totnes and Sheffield, Pale Blue Eyes have

been steadily grafting over a number of years to exact their modernist pop vision. At

the ship’s helm, Matt and Lucy Board are a genuine marriage of two stylistic

perspectives, each bringing unique sonic tropes to the table. It is the pair’s

fascination with DIY ethic, retro synths and reminiscence that truly fuels their sound

world, calling upon nostalgia and a captivating optimism. The third part of the Pale

Blue Eyes triad arrived when Matt and Lucy met bassist Aubrey Simpson at South

Devon’s Sea Change festival. Together they’ve made two albums, with several

tracks from both the albums playlisted at BBC Radio 6 Music, they've played two

Riley sessions, toured extensively in the UK and Europe, supported GOAT,

Slowdive, Sea Power, The Editors, Public Service Broadcasting, FEWS and more.

The band look forward to releasing their third album in 2025, which as with the first

two albums has been final mixed and mastered by sonic scientist Dean Honer.

Honer has produced the likes of The Human League, Add N to (x) and Roisin

Murphy, worked with countless Sheffield names from Jarvis Cocker to Tony

Christie.

Under the Radar: “Pale Blue Eyes are one of the most exciting bands to

emerge from the UK in recent years. Taking their cue from the likes of M83,

Slowdive and The Velvet Underground, they’ve fast become one of the

circuit’s must-see acts.”

Marc Riley, BBC 6 Music: “Really, really, great sophisticated pop music ”
