American Pleasure Club

It is increasingly difficult to pin down the music made by American Pleasure Club (formerly known as Teen Suicide).  The project moves from lo-fi folk to guitar oriented indie pop to mic-in-a-room stripped down piano noodling and beyond.  Their latest album, "Fucking Bliss," keeps a lot of the lo-fi aesthetic i first loved them for but ups the noise and feedback and layers in plenty of drone to make something that's both abrasive and dreamy.  Listen to "What Kind of Love?" below and get the record here from Run For Cover.

It looks like last month's "I Blew on a Dandelion and the Whole World Disappeared" lo-fi tape release from the newly minted American Pleasure Club (fka Teen Suicide) was just a warm up for more new material in 2018.  "A Whole Fucking Lifetime of This" is due from the band in February on Run For Cover Records and finds the group still dabbling in lo-fi bedroom pop, and to an eerie degree on the album's first single, "Lets Move to the Desert."  Watch the video below and look for the album next month.

Here's a lovely new release to close out 2017 to from the artist formerly known as Teen Suicide.  Now under the moniker of American Pleasure Club, the band continues to put out stellar, lo-fi pop, this time around on the "I Blew on a Dandelion and the Whole World Disappeared" cassette, recording tunes on what sounds like a tape recorder.  The aesthetic feels very Daniel Johnston, and i love it.  Listen to "Soft Whispered Prayer (tape)" below and grab the download or cassette here...but hurry, the tape is only available until tomorrow.
