Earlier this year The Pastels finally returned with a long-awaited new record, Slow Summits. 'Kicking Leaves', one of the key tracks, slaloms fantastically in and out of focus, Katrina Mitchell's vocal gliding along Craig Armstrong's majestic string arrangement. Now, you can watch the accompanying video.
"'Kicking Leaves' is sunblind chill in Fall, or maybe the cool warmth of late Spring, depending on which hemisphere you're standing in right now. If it's Autumn where you are, every breath trails white as quiet colours collide in the beam of your vision. This moment of transformation is one The Pastels have always captured well, when you're see-sawing between states, just before diving in with typical boldness and bravura (the strings skirling around the song's coda capture that giddy moment of uncertainty perfectly).
"The Forest Of Black respond with a beautiful film of many parts: double-exposures that gently psychedelicise Glasgow landscapes; sudden bursts of saturated energy like the 'closed-eye vision' celebrated by Stan Brakhage, "the shapes and colours we see when our eyes are closed," as Fred Camper explains. But the kinetic drive of the treatments also reminds me of other pioneers of experimental film form, like Margaret Tait, Marie Menken, Rose Lowder and Cecile Fontaine, whose beautiful filmic visions present new ways of seeing, tender buttons of exploration and inspiration, channelled by cinematic free radicals." - Jon Dale, Melbourne, November 2013
"They tell me I should be searching.
But I am only celebrating what I see.
I am searching for nothing.
I am happy." - Jonas Mekas

What a beautiful song! I love the Pastels since they were formed.
Such a lovely bit of film. Long live The Pastels.
When we're kicking leaves
In November freeze
And you smile
Won't you miss me?
When the city is framed
By a blue black sky
Two worlds
Light up in the sun
When we're standing still
At the head of the hill
Won't you kiss me?
Won't you kiss me?
There's a drawing of you
With your eyelashes black
On your cheek, you're asleep
There's a drawing of her
With her face turned away
She says "hey, coffee's on"
In the darkening days
Starlings wheel and sway
And you smile
Won't you miss me?
When flowers down the street
Carry me
Out of time
Oh glee flickers
Whisper along
And you play me that song
Oh kiss me
Won't you kiss me?
There's a drawing of you
With your eyelashes black
On your cheek, you're asleep
There's a drawing of her
With her face turned away
She says "hey, coffee's on"
Pastels meet Pet Sounds. Lovely stuff!

The editing on this video is tremendous.. I am not a fan of the music, the vocals are a little weak and toothless. Seems to be a going to trend the past few years for this style of singing.. whoever did the Video editing though, it is majestic and worthy of a deeper look..
Peter Yumi past few decades you mean
🤔 I take it you have absolutely no idea who The Pastels are... 🙄. This is what makes them so special.
I just listened to it a second time, and i like the music, but still not sold on the vocals..
yeah they're alternative tho. if u look at sonic youth, they use this kind of vocal style too
