Pleasure Chest - Pleasure Chest LP

Neither head nor feet music, the self-titled album from PLEASURE CHEST aims somewhere around the upper trunk - at the pump inside your shirt.

It's noise in the Sydney tradition, but with a heart unafraid of sentiment. Even if it is a bum ticker.

Featuring members of local hardcore and grunge stalwarts White Dog and Zeahorse, PLEASURE CHEST announce themselves with a debut album full of adult themes - songs that turn the grind of maturity into the stuff of life.

Routine becomes refrain. Traffic on General Holmes Drive gets (somehow) triumphant. Raymond J. Bartholomeuz is reborn in big sky dignity. An achy breaky cokey dinner party kitchen comedown gets the full blowout (with a little help from Party Dozen's Kirsty Tickle).

It hurts. It heaves. It feels like the end of the world, but it’s probably indigestion. (Via Pleasure Chest's bandcam)
