Strange Pleasures is the second album by London's Still Corners. Where its predecessor, 2010's Creatures of an Hour, soared on sugared layers of shoegazing-infused retro-futurism, Strange Pleasures proffers a leaner, more acute extrapolation of 80s-suffused song and studio craft, navigating a sinuous trajectory between velveteen noir-pop and the glacial, mellifluous territory mapped by Modern English, The Cure, and The Passions.--Midwest Tape.
