Mobile Safari is the third album by the Scottish band The Pastels, released in 1995. [4] [5]
The album was recorded at Glasgow's Stuffhouse Studios and CAVA Sound Workshops. [2] Dean Wareham contributed guitar to a few tracks. [6]
"Flightpaths to Each Other" was also the name of an art exhibit organized by the band in 1994, in Glasgow. [7]
AllMusic wrote that the band "stretched out to an American audience with their calm and reflective style of blissful indie pop." [2] The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "an enjoyable collection of ragamuffin odes to life in and outside of an underachieving indie band." [3] Trouser Press wrote that the album "builds upon the Pastels’ oft-copied shambling pop sound, but rounds off some of the songs’ rough edges with fleshed-out arrangements and sensitive, clear production." [6] Martin C. Strong called it "a wryly self-deprecating look at an indie band’s lot." [8] Spin wrote that "this spacious record goes way beyond the shambly pop aesthetic with which the Pastels are associated." [7]
All songs written by Stephen McRobbie, except where noted.
