Pelican West

The 1781st greatest album of all time

Pelican West, the 1982 debut album by Haircut One Hundred, is a bright, melodic example of early 80s new wave and pop that mixes jangly guitars, buoyant basslines and polished horn and sax arrangements with Nick Heyward's clear, youthful vocals. Its breezy, uptempo songs blend jazz-influenced rhythms and catchy pop hooks, with tracks such as "Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)" and "Love Plus One" illustrating the band's distinctive, summery sound.
