The Pale - Proper Order
We are particularly pleased with the new album artwork as many hours went into it’s conception and realisation. And while it was partly a collaborative effort, the majority of the perspiration and inspiration came from our designer/artist extrodinaire Marguerite McEntee, ably assisted of course by Matthew.
And just to complete the unveilings, here’s the running order on the record: -
- We Were First On
- You Play Indie Music
- Stop It, I Might Like It
- Chocolate Factory
- Catholic Credit Card
- Lights Out Boys
- Jump
- Proper Order
- Beauty In The Riot
- Paris In The 21st Century
Daragh Bohan, 1969 Records with Matthew
Hello all. We are happy to announce the completion of The Pale’s newest recording entitled “Proper Order”. Pictured here with Matthew is Daragh Bohan from 1969 records celebrating with a pint of plain after receiving the finished master copies ready to go to press.
Daragh, being an incurable romantic, set the delivery date for the 14th of February – Valentines day. And true to our word, we turned up with a lovingly crafted collection of songs, numbering 10 in total and weighing in at just under 30 minutes.
We are very proud to have 1969 Records behind us again for this release and the excitement is already building within the two camps of The Pale and 1969. Delivery of the finished product is expected in late March, but I’m afraid you will all have to wait until early May before you can buy it in record stores, online at iTunes and from the 1969 Records website.
Stay tuned as we will be revealing the cover art for “Proper Order” soon.

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”

Hello,
We have finished the demo process for this one just recently.
Two versions exist of this song at the moment.
Version two will more likely the version we will record.
The first version was a lounge-like organ and piano version in a somewhat
Leonard Cohen “I’m Your Man” fashion.
The second version is a very different affair with the entire music getting re-written in the process with a few new and unlikely instruments are getting used.
The words have remained untouched.
The testimony by previous students of the
Christian Brothers are clearly one of the subject matters on this one, no disguising it.
One of those songs that is what it is, without apologies.
I will post a further update about this one soon.
Delta, Aplha, Omega
…Over …And …Out
