Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
New Forces presents "Pleasure Pressure," Joe Colley's latest LP of expert sound composition. Damaged wires, crackling speakers, and the existential dread of droning electronics are woven together into Colley's trademark juxtaposition of haunting minimalism and industrial wreckage. Never before has Colley's ability to bring to life all that seems broken-down been so prominently on display. Buzzing, hissing, corroded sounds are wrenched from machines that seem on the brink of imminent collapse and deftly resurrected into new forms. These acts of sonic bricolage conjure up the anxiety of collapsing networks and failing infrastructure all teetering on the brink, giving voice to the constant mechanical failures that surround us on a daily basis. Pleasure Pressure is full of extreme frequencies that push against the limits of what is sonically possible, a series of unexpected twists and turns that nonetheless feel distinctly and uniquely part of Colley's repertoire. A brilliant work from an undeniable master.

An excellent collaboration yielding melancholic and unsettling looping noise with ethereal vocals, tinged with a bit of 80s horror synth. Highly recommend! cedarshims

I cannot praise this album enough. This album is absolutely terrifying! The many starts and stops creates this very h settling tension. Each start expands on the stopper idea previously. It’s like the music equivalent of walking through thick fog while passing out multiple times throughout trying to find a place to orientate yourself. There may or may not be something sinister in that fog, but you don’t want to stick around to find out. Bought the vinyl so I summon the fog demons through spe showhornwithteeth
