New Album - Proper Order
Proper Order is the brand new album from The Pale. Following on from 2007’s 'Contents of a Shipwreck' The Pale released Proper Order in May 2009 with a launch gig in Whelan’s of Wexford St.
Recording Proper Order started the greatest adventure the band have embarked on so far, with the genesis of the album beginning in eastern europe and finishing in Ireland.
Proper Order clocks in at under thirty minutes long but contains some of the band’s most concise and precise song writing yet.
The Pale Biog
Formed in 1990, The Pale began with a unique and unusual style. The vocal, mandolin, drum machine, bass and acoustic guitar lineup of The Pale had an very individual approach to songwriting. That year, The Pale recorded a mini album called "Why Go Bald?" which grabbed the attention of both the public and record companies alike. On receiving some modest funding from U2 manager Paul McGuinness The Pale recorded a mini album called "The Happy Ring House". Both titles for the The Pale records were taken from famous neon signs in Dublin. The Pale heavily promoted both of these early records and soon grew into an act with a good live reputation.
In 1992 The Pale released an award winning debut album called "Here's One We Made Earlier" on A&M Records UK. The debut album and conseqeunt international live shows were warmly received. Three singles from this debut soon followed "Dogs With No Tails" "Butterfly" and "Shut Up Venus". The song "Dogs With No Tails" had another lease of life in 2001 when a Turkish Ska band called Athena released a version which became a hit for a second time in Turkey. "Butterfly" also lived another day recently when it appeared in Irish as "Féileacán" on the "Ceol '06" Compilation .
The music The Pale produce is often accessible and difficult to describe. Some new descriptive terms have been invented over the years just to try describe the band such as "Punkranian""Polk" and "Zoukibilly". You will certainly remember the sound of The Pale, once you hear it.
Over the years The Pale have collaborated with a great number of different musicians with their main strength being a willingness to think outside the box.. Fast forward to the present day and The Pale are still very much an active and productive band. The last album The Pale recorded was called "The Contents Of a Shipwreck" and was released on 1969 Records in 2007. Two singles have been released from this album "Elizabeth in Rags" and "The New Resistance". "Elizabeth in Rags"has also appeared in Irish as "Elizabeth Sna Bratóga! " on the "Ceol '07" Compilation .

Here's what some reviews had to say . . .
"The Contents Of A Shipwreck is a welcome return by an oft missed, much needed band" John Brereton
"File under Welcome Back" Jackie Hayden, Hot Press
"As comebacks go,then,The Contents Of A Shipwreck is one of constant, delightful suprise" Eamon de Paor
"The Pale are back with a new album that adds even more to their reputation" Stephen Rapid
The Pale "Chocolate Factory" (1969 Records) "An exotic Mediterranean flavour permeates this catchy little acoustic ditty from the always-enjoyable Pale. After a well-received return last year with "The Contents Of A Shipwreck", it seems yet more new material is in the works - and if this single is anything to go by, we could be in the middle of something of a golden age for Pale fanatics"
Stephen Errity, Hot Press
From the unexpected return of Blur to the surprisingly convincing resurrection of Take That and Boyzone, 1990s nostalgia is heavy in the air at the moment – so it’s probably as good a time as ever for The Pale to release the best album of their career.
Still dogged by the ‘wacky’ tag that has followed them since their once inescapable 1992 hit Dogs with no Tails, the Dublin four-piece long ago grew into a more mature and interesting proposition (without abandoning that trademark mandolin) – and Proper Order offers irrefutable proof that sometimes musicians are at their most articulate in their autumn years.
In place of their former quirkiness, the band have cultivated an elegiac new sound – You Play Indie Music feels like a recently rediscovered new wave nugget; Catholic Credit Card belies its naff title with a swoonful, Rufus Wainwright-esque chorus illuminated by Matthew Devereux’s Lloyd Cole-esque croon. Best of all is the album’s sign-off, Paris In The 21st Century, a wistful ballad with a melody that lingers long after the music has ended.
**** 4/5 stars Eamon de Paor - The Metro
