iTunes Review
This 2009 collaboration between the Glasgow-based Pastels and the Tokyo-based Tenniscoats is less a cross-cultural mashup than the merging of mutually sympathetic talents. Recorded over a period of several years, Two Sunsets serves up spun-sugar melodies decorated with wistfully childlike lyrics, sung dreamily in both English and Japanese. Pastel members Stephan and Katrina’s demure vocals are complimented by Tenniscoat Saya’s lilting tones, with Saya’s band mate Uero adding atmospheric touches on assorted woodwinds and percussion. The results are quaint, whimsical and often enchanting. A few pieces — including “Yomigaeru” and “Hikoki” — have a drowsy, shimmering ambiance inviting quiet meditation. “Sodane” and “Song for a Friend” are gauzy romantic pieces, tender and innocent. Slipping into a soul-pop vein, “Vivid Youth” moves to a summery groove reminiscent of Billy Stewart or Archie Bell. As ethereal as fog drifting across a distant landscape, Two Sunsets is a work of fragile, haunting charm.
Customer Reviews
Good album, but wrong genre
Great melody and somber tracks, but no track stands out. Although as a stand alone album, replay is very low. Listeners might enjoy this album in a playlist of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, AIR, etc.
Seriously in love...
So calming and relaxing... I would've never imagined a perfect mix of two cultures in this music... <3
Vivid Youth stands out
Fantastic opening; it really sucked me in. By far the best track of a solid album
