World Eater Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 Spoiler On this relatable bop Miss Yelich-O'Connor finds herself dreaming of a perfect relationship, or rather dreaming about a compilation of good memories with her imaginary significant other. I especially love the extra-long outro because it's gives the listener a moment to calm down or reflect. Spoiler Blah blah blah something something AWESOME BASSLINE But "Pure Desire" is way beyond than that, it's another passionate love song from Tina & co. Spoiler Could you hit me too hard? Well, "Sportstar" certainly did hit me too hard, like hardly anything this year I don''t even know what makes me love it so much - the messy autotune, the quasi-shoegaze-y breakdown or the metaphors Sandy uses throughout the song. Spoiler
World Eater Posted December 23, 2017 Author Posted December 23, 2017 Spoiler This...might be her best record? Idk! 'The Reminder's' highs are SO high, oh my god, but this doesn't feel overstocked despite being even longer than 'Reminder'. Aside from being more consistent, 'Pleasure' is at the same time raw and cozy. Some songs make me feel like I'm sitting with my best friend, Leslie Feist, and a couple of our other friends by a campfire and she's singing there for us. You can get sense of that by listening to "Any Party" - its finale is sung by few people - and then there's a field recording of a barking dog and a passing car from which we can hear a snippet of the album's title track. Spoiler You know you're either obsessed with Ariel Pink or he's a musical genius when he releases his worst album of the decade and it still makes your album list

Ewan Chaos Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) omg that "Anohni" FB post Awesome write-up for Pleasure. The way you describe Any Party is probably why it's my fave pick from that record - and you explained it better than me! I love Supercut too, but it was more of an instant love whereas now I'm enjoying other tracks Raingurl: Edited December 23, 2017 by Ewan Chaos
Tom Vercetti Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 I like the production of Pure Desire but I can't get past the vocals Supercut, Raingurl & Sportstar especially Love Pleasure (the song) but for some reason I couldn't really get through her whole album without getting slightly bored.
Uncatena Posted December 23, 2017 Posted December 23, 2017 Die 4 You is probably one of the best songs about sex ever tbh I didnt like Hang at all, but glad you loved it Supercut and Raingurl are both BOPS Loved Pleasure ans i agree, it might be my fave record of hers
ATRL Moderator Unoriginal Posted December 23, 2017 ATRL Moderator Posted December 23, 2017 Supercut is my least favourite song on Melodrama the 'in my head I do everything right' is still Raingurl and Sportstar Pleasure was a nice single. Never got round to the album because I'm a mess

The vocals are the main reason people can't get into them so I can't blame you for that nn As for Pleasure, I didn't care that much about the album when it first came out and I probably still wouldn't if it wasn't for certain members who kept posting on my album thread months after the album's release 1 hour ago, ChapelHooker said: Die 4 You is probably one of the best songs about sex ever tbh I didnt like Hang at all, but glad you loved it Supercut and Raingurl are both BOPS Loved Pleasure ans i agree, it might be my fave record of hers 14 minutes ago, Unoriginal said: Supercut is my least favourite song on Melodrama the 'in my head I do everything right' is still Raingurl and Sportstar Pleasure was a nice single.
