SXSW DOWNLOAD: Pure Ecstasy - Voices
Pure Ecstasy's Nate Grace recently told Pitchfork he was "barely doing anything" before the band formed. "Just sleeping, mostly." Um, glad you woke up, dude? Or sort of woke up? We say this because Pure Ecstasy's songs, loaded with endorphinizing melodies though they are, sound like the brainproduct of someone who's not entirely "awake." They're drowsy–waterlogged with hissy reverb and in seemingly no rush to finish themselves, like at any moment they could just stop playing for no explicable reason. And that casualness is half the reason they're so enchanting (the other half being those melodies).
"Voices" is from a forthcoming, limited-to-500 7-inch for Acephale, which you can pre-order directly from the label right here.
