Press Reviews
The Swarm of Angels' frenzied and distorted style of indie-pop gone awry is headache-inducing to say the least. Maybe these four tracks hint at some sort of subconscious love for dismantled hooks that are attached to rough guitar work, but I honestly can't see anyone enjoying it. Following one or, at the most, two verses, the lyrics quickly grow repetitious and taxing. The title track is especially guilty of this; the song ends with the lead singer yelping "Pleasure!....Pleasure!", as if that means something significant to the average listener. Following "Plessure", the disc slowly becomes less intrusive.
The only song that I can begin to make sense of is "Medea", which builds from a charmingly unromantic chorus that reminds me of Syd Barrett's "Mazie". Nonetheless, the majority of Plessure can be summed up as stale pop. Static and dense at best, this short EP is quasi-catchy on a brute, animalistic level -- but then again, that could be considered a compliment these days. -- Josh Kazman, SPLENDID EZINE
