Grave Pleasures - Plagueboys - LP

here are still those rare bands out there in the world that have a unique ability to combine macabre, mystifying rock with a more pop-oriented flare, a la early Bowie or early The Cure. Grave Pleasures are such a band that is equally suited for playing on a stadium stage, or in some Lynchian nightmare. It’s that duality and electrifying contradiction that makes their music so exhilarating. With their third studio album ‘Plagueboys’, GRAVE PLEASURES have now created their most sophisticated work of art in their career. This is a bittersweet, danceable record, that shows a skillful balancing act between goth-/death-rock and synth pop!
