Stream Pleasure Systems Visiting the Well LP

After the death of his partner, Clarke Sondermann sat down to write new music under the Pleasure Systems moniker; he ended up writing 40 demos, 12 of which were hand picked by Orchid Tapes to make up Visiting the Well. Today the album hits the streets, and while there’s definitely raw emotion packed into every inch, it’s the detail to each track that’s really stuck with me. For instance, “When Your Beard Fell Out” begins with this intimate strumming, sounding like traditional singer-songwriter fare. But, keyboard notes begin to overlap with the chords, layering texture that gives the song this full lifeblood. Each track has these delicate brushstrokes, used to bridge the gap between the intimate nature of Sondermann’s songwriting and the listener; Clarke gives us his most personal self, and ultimately we are gifted a shared solace. You’ll definitely get all the feels listening to this LP. Grab it HERE.
