Mobile Safari is the third album by the Scottish band The Pastels, released in 1995. Production The album was recorded at Glasgow's Stuffhouse Studios and CAVA Sound Workshops. Dean Wareham contributed guitar to a few tracks. "Flightpaths to Each Other" was also the name of an art exhibit organized by the band in 1994, in Glasgow. Critical reception AllMusic wrote that the band "stretched out to an American audience with their calm and reflective style of blissful indie pop." The Encyclopedia of Popular Music called the album "an enjoyable collection of ragamuffin odes to life in and outside of an underachieving indie band." Trouser Press wrote that the album "builds upon the Pastels’ oft-copied shambling pop sound, but rounds off some of the songs’ rough edges with fleshed-out arrangements and sensitive, clear production." Martin C. Strong called it "a wryly self-deprecating look at an indie band’s lot." Spin wrote that "this spacious record goes way beyond the shambly pop aesthetic with which the Pastels are associated." Track listing All songs written by Stephen McRobbie, except where noted.
