Band Websitehttp://www.thepleased.com
Band MembersNoah Georgeson, Richard Good, Luckey Remington, Genaro Vergoglini, Jason Clark
InfluencesNoah, whose dynamic croon falls somewhere in the wide valley between Marc Bolan and Johnny Cash, and Rich, who has a sly English baritone in the vein of Brian Ferry or Jarvis Cocker, provide vocal melodies that are sturdy and enduring, and harmonies that soar and stack unexpectedly into choral masses and sunny swaths.
Sounds LikeOn Don’t’ Make Things, The Pleased play songs about disasters, doctors, soldiers, horses, surgeons, money, conversations, Canada, and teeth. The sound is that of five people who are coming from different places to the same spot on a field, each in their own fashion. The Pleased are aesthetically self-conscious. They layer their nervous, crackling, angular rhythmic sections with shimmering, extravagantly lush guitar stomps, embroidered throughout by vocals that are, in turns, raucous, glassily detached, decadently honeyed, raggedly elegant, and terse and clipped; the whole thing occasionally breaks spontaneously into a romping dance rhythm, or an almost baroque keyboard counterpoint passage, or a swell of thick, shaggy noise—none of which reads as discontinuous or disingenuous, but rather like the sleep-talk of a fevered child, veering between lucidity and lunacy, as the songs flare up into loose and looming aural shapes and then decay again into bristling restraint.

   About The Pleased
Order our record online @ The Pleased website

As with their previous three EPs, The Pleased debut album is entirely self-produced, recorded, mastered, and designed. Don’t Make Things is an album of layers and textures bound together in intelligent and thoroughly memorable songs. The music isn’t scattered or stolen—it is precise, but it breathes, and while each song creates an individual space, the album as a whole is coherent and complete. The Pleased have succeeded in creating an album that is singularly glorious upon first listen, yet continues to reveal its full depth after many more.

The Pleased are currently on a haitus but you can catch Noah and Luckey on tour with Devendra or see Rich's new music here: Kings & Queens
