Looming The Spindle

On their new album Looming, The Spindle,  The Pleasure Majenta shape a terrifying and sublime mix of noise, broken electronics and guitar feedback that begs to remain untamed.-From New Zealand by way of Berlin, these dystopian goth punks take their cues from the harsh and heavy energy of The Birthday Party, Swans and The Fall-casting bummer vibes into the void to create the pain-soaked statement so many albums want to make but wind up missing the mark.-The lead single "Full of It" fills the screen with flashes of cinematic post-punk savagery up to it's ears in swampy distortion and sleazy funhouse skronk. Velvety '70s exploitation flick saxophones hustle with devilish no-wave spaghetti western guitars and a slippery bassline like a coffin dragged through mud in a grungy post-punk dirge. It's a waking tour through a dysfunctional late-capitalist bardo where disassociation becomes an effective coping mechanism for the cyclical, paralyzing grind of clock-in, clock-out psychosis.-"I felt okay when I wasn't myself-when I was making music or playing onstage, so I decided I would contact myself in this way, " says The Pleasure Majenta's Lawrence "Loz" Fergus Goodwin. "It's a dangerous game to play."-Looming, the Spindle drops July 15, 2022 digitally and September 30 physically - only on Dedstrange, Oliver Ackermann's (A Place To Bury Strangers/Death By Audio) new label.1.
