Behaviour by Pet Shop Boys is a refined synthpop album released in 1990 that leans into melancholy and restraint. Moving away from their flashy dancefloor sound the duo embraced subtle textures and introspective lyrics. Produced by Harold Faltermeyer the album carries a warm analog feel that contrasts with the colder tones of their earlier work.
Songs like Being Boring and This Must Be the Place I Waited Years to Leave blend personal storytelling with elegant synth arrangements. Neil Tennant sings of youth loss and nostalgia with poetic clarity. Chris Lowe’s keyboards stay understated and thoughtful. The sound pulls from New Order and David Sylvian while staying distinct.
The single So Hard adds a danceable beat to the introspective vibe and Jealousy ends the album with theatrical flair. Only the Wind and To Face the Truth are slower moments full of longing and quiet tension. There’s a clear sense of maturity in both sound and songwriting. The duo crafts a world of inner emotion and understated drama across ten songs.
Released by Parlophone the album was not as commercially dominant as earlier hits but has aged beautifully. Behaviour marked a turning point for Pet Shop Boys embracing grown-up pop with style and sincerity. It’s one of their most cohesive and emotionally resonant works a true classic in synthpop and alternative pop history.
