Pale Blue Eyes

Britain's Pale Blue Eyes create a beguiling mixture of rhythmic post-punk and sophisticated pop with touchpoints that range from Krautrock to melodic synth pop. Originally based in Totnes, Devon, the trio employed a D.I.Y. approach, collaborating widely within their local creative community and building their own analog studio to record their 2022 debut album, Souvenirs. The dynamic and inward-looking This House appeared the following year. After moving to Sheffield, Pale Blue Eyes returned in early 2025 with the reflective New Place, which they issued on their own label.Led by husband-and-wife team Matt and Lucy Board, the band also includes bassist Aubrey Simpson, whom the couple met through Sea Change, a small but highly regarded annual music festival in their hometown. Recording out of an analog home-built studio in Matt's mother's house, the trio completed their debut single in 2020, then engaged the town's bustling creative business scene to help put it out. As a result, Pale Blue Eyes' 2021 7" single "Motionless/Chelsea" was sponsored by a local independent brewery (which also brewed a Pale Blue Ale), a company that helps build mushroom farms, and a forward-thinking funeral home with ties to the KLF. This type of collaboration and community engagement is part of what makes the band's approach unique. The group had already completed their first album and begun working on another by the time they joined Full Time Hobby's roster in 2022. Combining Motorik grooves and big choruses, Pale Blue Eyes' full-length debut, Souvenirs, was released in September of that year. The band tackled themes of loss and closure on 2023's life-affirming This House, which combined vulnerable lyrics with upbeat melodies and hip-shaking beats. After doing an extensive European tour opening for Slowdive in early 2024, a family tragedy resulted in the band relocating to Sheffield. This inspired their next album, which conveys themes of grief, change, and ultimately new beginnings. Titled New Place, the album was released on Pale Blue Eyes' own Broadcast Recordings label in March 2025 and featured guest appearances from Rachael Swinton (Cloth), Tom Sharkett (W.H. Lung), and others.
