Pure X releases Pleasure July 5th. Opening with “Heavy Air” you’re immediately inundated with ambient noise drawn out over a lightly sung melody. With almost incomprehensible lyrics, the weight of the distortion, and melancholy you feel you’re gasping for air by the time you reach “Easy.” As this track feels even more upbeat, I can’t help but hope for something a little cleaner. Vocally every track carries an echo-chamber effect, which varies in degree throughout the compiled confusion. Combine that with lyrics that seem as though they’re being mumbled to intentionally deliver a painful message and you’ve got 10 tracks begging for a pick me up. There is one unwavering consistency; from beginning to end you lose any chance of understanding the vocals as soon as the guitar unintelligibly stumbles into another excessive slurring riff.
