As a track, ‘Check My Heart’ is all optimism, boldly announced by Katrina Mitchell’s intrepid vocal overlaps and Stephen McRobbie’s more melancholic counter.  The sound is 3D, vivid – The Pastels’ love of garage punk, soul crossover and first-wave independent clatter converging all too briefly, winding down the window and racing off into the summertime.

 ‘Check My Heart’ is available to download now and will also be released on 7” on April 29^th including the b-side ‘Illuminum Song’. Both songs will be available digitally as a bundle from May 27^th.

The Pastels will be playing the following shows:

June 1^st Glasgow, CCA

July 27^th: Indietracks Festival, Derbyshire

August 16^th: Green Man Festival, Black Mountains, Wales

August 24^th: Doune the Rabbit Hole, Doune, Scotland
