Pale Spectres - Perfect for Sarah Records

Commercial was the small British label Sarah Records at that time probably not such a big success - the more surprising how many good bands they spawned ... and that the sound of the Field Mice, etc. still enjoys great popularity with new bands. Such as in the French-English Pale Spectres Act. Yes, they have been named to The Wake. And they sound very Sarah-esque, or as a mixture of Language of Flowers and The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Her first song "Helen of Troy" is certainly a very flattering ear issue - and also free!
