Dark Synthpop encounters 80s New wave

https://youtu.

Extract taken from our bandcamp description, please take the time to read and listen, it would mean the world:

This a project started as a collaboration between Ryan and Will, with a few songs written by Ryan sending Will over guitar parts, song structures and ideas, Will writing drum sections and providing vocals. Lyrical duties were shared by both. Eventually, Miles was bought in to mix Weightless for release, where they ended up joining full time to assist with the projects development. Over the space of Around 7 months, Pleasure Palaces finalised 8 songs, of which were meant to be split between a few eps and singles taking on different sounds. Conversations about live shows started to happen, as Ryan was so incredibly driven by creativity and the need to bring these songs to the world. Despite suffering from epilepsy, he wanted to conquer his fears and do what he loved.

Unfortunately, this would never come to fruition as Ryan would pass away due to complications with his epilepsy in early October. From here the rest of the band finalised the songs and decided to release it as one whole album, then end the project. Continuing without Ryan under the Pleasure Palaces name would ensure this project would never be the same.

The final track, was only an mp3 file Ryan shared as a brief idea, but it was beautiful enough and summarised our feelings around this band so well, it was decided to be used.

This is an album with many different concepts and ideas explored, love, existential dread, loss, depression and accepting yourself in spite of what you see in your reflection.

Despite what talent may rest in the band, Ryan was the spark that truly made it special. He would’ve killed us if we didn’t release it.

All proceeds will go to Epilepsy Action UK.

This is dedicated to Ryan, his loving family, and his wonderful partner Terry.

• Love, Pleasure Palaces
