Pleasure

Pleasure is a Sydney based music project that utilises distorted synths, irregular drum beats and fluid song structures to create energetic and hypnotic pieces that straddle the line of bright and abrasive. They have released 2 records "Saint Albans" and "Chop Wood, Carry Water" to international acclaim and have made a name for themselves in Sydney, Australia's live scene with their iconic 6 hour "Endurance Shows."
