Pascal Babare was born in Southern Australia, the son of a singer and a former percussionist in the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. His mother can only hear in one ear and sings like an angel; his father once picked a fight with the string section of the orchestra. A drummer in his early days, as his school days dwindled he started picking up instruments he found at his house, first with others and then alone, until the banging expanded, grew to encompass harmoniums and birds and thighs, was committed to tape, and found its way into rich, shadowy drone and sublime chunks of warm, rickety pop.
All his music is self-recorded, in thick-carpeted suburbia, in thin-walled Japan, on various street corners and during carnivals, all of it possessed of a looseness, a lightness and a songwriting wizardry that belies his years. Songs are naïve morning ragas, ecstatic shouts, evening croons; slide guitars ride percussion slaps, loops and yelps banded together in hooks and curves that leap and turn, with words of wonder and Vikings and animal husbandry.
Pascal is a some-time member of Function Ensemble, who are currently on Black Maps records.
He lives in Melbourne.

Thunderclap Spring is honestly brilliant. One of the most underrated and underlistened albums in a long time. I have no earthly idea why this guy isn't more popular.
