THE PLEASURE "Badische
Zeitung" 31.12.2004:
|
"The Beatles
did it in the mid-sixties. Now, The Pleasure is following in
the footsteps of their famous idols with their own intensive
studio phase. No more live concerts means more time and energy
for recording. The comparison is unavoidable in terms of composition
too: The more you listen to the new CD from The Pleasure, the
more it seems like someone has taken the Beatles - during time
of the "Revolver" albums - and transported them to the here
and now in Freiburg. Hash Brown Smilings is a mature album.
In comparison to its predecessor, Didn't Catch the Sun for Shadows,
Jens Kreuzer, Ralf Paske and Volker Eck have continued to evolve
- especially in terms of production. Drums and bass are restrained
to leave space for featuring other |
instruments - here a gritty keyboard motif, there a tinkling
e-guitar - everything in its right place. It's hard to believe
that catchy melodies like "Scratch My Back" or "Summer Love
Trip" didn't come from a British band. Throw in The Pleasure's
obligatory short instrumental track, "Add Two Inches", and you've
got a great album." Badische
Zeitung, December 2004 |
