Set to be taken from their forthcoming album ‘Berlin’, US-based alternative duo Pleasure Victim are back as they look to make a buzz with their emphatic new-wave sound. Leaning into nostalgia and grit, elation and pleasure, the outfit releases their new teaser single, ‘Sweet Nothings’.
Kicking off with a steady drum machine, ‘Sweet Nothing’ soon makes way for an array of colourful, Cure-esque melodies before a brooding vocal runs away with the limelight. Despite leaning into its gothic sensibilities, the single remains an ecstasy-filled anthem, keeping hold of the buzz and electricity that makes the genre so exciting.
Speaking about the album to come, the band explain, “For us, ‘Berlin’ is less about a real place and more about a state of mind. It’s a dream city that anyone can have in their heart. It could be a place you’ve lost, or a place you can only really go to in your imagination. Art can bring these dreams to life, and that’s why we made this album.”
