Only dead air Nobody cares Just to be fair Take your complaints upstairs Hanging crimes Slipping time Skip the fine Gone to find Broke down heirs With nothing up there Dropping dimes on a dare Nobody cares Only dead air Stop and stare Break a leg or two Powder keg blew Launched high in the sky And you knew 99 percentile Plastic pure Smile for cures Trouble bridge Water blurs Break a leg or two Powder keg blew And you knew Died twice Came back too Who will clean up this mess When we’re through?

Sigil Pathos 03:42
Widow’s peak Telepath speaks Fractured freak Spins the winning streak Fading sun Am I the only one? Until this fade is done Wasted days One by one
3.
Follows fading hesitating Excavate unfound Buried screaming Sounds deceiving Mindless drifting cloud This trick hardly working Break neck writ you’re serving Disturb commonwealth Cashed out in the life you’re leasing Speed trap forever decreasing Left this monument Hull is cracking Anchors mapping Holes to bury land Drink left rising Sink surmising Ship passed best laid plans Bad body broke about an hour ago Lives on luck lies lame and low
4.
Delicate slaughter Fawn or foe Ferries farther Off the leash So call the police Recently defamed or deceased
5.
Calls for distress Trips treble clef Cracked up from the pressure I digress Your grievance address Sundial solace Could hardly be pressed For a second guess Collapsed he confessed But man, I digress
6.
Embrace the face of imminent Disaster through and through I am one to offer none Advice escapes me too Waiting for sunshine

about

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.

Pleasure Forever San Francisco, California

In the late 90s, after the break up of legendary synth-punk band The VSS, 3 members regrouped in San Francisco as Pleasure Forever.

In 2001 the trio joined Sub Pop Records and released 2 albums before disbanding.

On 5/5/23, on the 20th anniversary of the release of Alter—catalog number Sub Pop #666 —the band announced their return with Distal, a 7-song collection of all new songs.
