Strange Pleasures Indies Only

Description

Strange Pleasures goes gold. Sub Pop present Still Corners 2013 album Strange Pleasures reissued on gold vinyl. The second album from Still Corners, Strange Pleasures expanded and re-defined the bands sound with twelve stunning classic dream-pop songs including hit The Trip, a six minute odyssey about travel and the open road. Complete with Tessa Murrays lush vocals and Greg Hughes simmering clean-toned guitar, Mojo magazine called Strange Pleasures a lush intoxicating album and Paste magazine an album of great beauty. The album was captured in Hughes Greenwich studio, with the protean multi-tasker handling all the instruments and penning most of the lyrics. Where its predecessor soared on sugared layers of shoegazing-infused retro-futurism, Strange Pleasures proffered a leaner, more acute extrapolation of 80s-suffused song and studio craft, navigating a sinuous trajectory between velveteen Angelo Badalamenti noir-pop torch song sophistication, ethereal Cocteau Twins beauty and the glacial, mellifluous territory mapped by Modern English, The Cure and The Passions.
