Pleasure Forever - Distal EP (2023) [Hi-Res]

20 years after the band’s last proper album Alter was released on Sub Pop — with the catalog number Sub Pop #666, no less — Pleasure Forever returns with a new mini-album titled Distal. It’s as hard to characterize as they’ve always been.

Moments of heavy hitting rock tendencies tie together their continuing exploration of 60s psychedelia and their peculiarly warped feel of classic rock from an alternate universe, dashed with hypnotic and minimal rhythms reminiscent of heady Krautrock.

FFO: The Doors, The VSS, Roxy Music, CAN, Amon Düül II, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, (later era) Damned, etc.
