CD - $12.00   Bareskinrug LOAD 038  CD Load is proud to present the first full length CD by Pleasurehorse. In the past Load has worked with Pleasurehorse on the DROPDEAD Deconstructed 12" and a split 12" with Mystery Brinkman (Forcefield). Pleasurehorse also has a release on respected electronic label, History of the Future, home to other weirdos like Venetian Snares. Other records on Vermiform. Jarring sounds emit from the eight foot-high bass stack. Pleasurehorse slams into your ears with the velocity of DJ Scud, the bling of Timbaland, and the amplifiers of Slayer. Yet another convincing argument that a dangerous and virulent form of life was started in Providence, Rhode Island that will hopefully pollute this dirty ball of fluff known as Earth. This is not a studio project. No, no. This is a sweaty one-man live force that will moisten your underwear and require aspirin….all at once. Maybe cough syrup too. This winter Pleasurehorse will tour. Get ready. Past shows with Black Dice, EC8OR and Trans Am have resulted in some "peanut butter and fluff" type situations, if you know what I mean. This does not live in the electronic music ghetto, but lives more in the gated communities of HI-NRG that today's panic-rock scene resides. Pleasurehorse is not a laptop operator/technician, he is armed with a gameboy controller, eight tracks, samplers, stompboxes, used boxes of Tic Tacs and sweat socks. He plays, no email checking glitch bullshit here - guaranteed. Pleasurehorse teeters over his gear like a World Trade Center jumper. Pleasurehorse takes his cues from the playa world of today's hip hop artists like Lil' Wayne, the Clipse, Cash Money... Similar in spirit to the Tigerbeat 6 aesthetic but much more free to raise a dust cloud of audio stench. The stance is there, but the samples are not. BAD ASS and ALL NEW! DROPDEAD Deconstructed LOAD 024  12" Pleasurehorse is one man. Load remembers hearing the tape in 1996 and thinking ",this is some fucked up shit..." It was. Cut ups done with a real lo-tech sampler. Usually done on some band from around the town of Providence, RI. The first tape is cut-ups of then Providence based band, Les Savy Fav. More herky-jerky than beat oriented. Live shows were fucking unreal. Shawn Greenlee is Pleasurehorse. He’d drag out samplers, eight track players, turntables, pedals and really work the sounds up. Loud. Yeah it was loud. It was at this time Shawn was also in Land, later forced to change their name to Landed. He was doing crazy shit with Landed. Playing shows with a Dictaphone, drums and bass. Retarded, but it worked. And of course the infamous show where Dan, singer from Landed caught himself on fire while playing and finished the whole set as a mush of melted man-flesh. In 1998 a plan was hatched to do a "remix" of DROPDEAD, a Providence hardcore band. The record DROPDEAD Decontructed (Load 024) was released in the spring of that year to coincide with the US leg of DROPDEAD’s US leg of their world tour. This record sold well, and predictably met with confusion from many hardcore fans, but has added to the scrambled frequencies coming from the one-horse town of Providence, RI. Its not just crazy "bands", it fucked up sounds and a freewheeling atmosphere fostered by folks that make things like this succed where they would fail elsewhere. The year 2000 saw a split 12" with Mystery Brinkman aka Mr. Brinkman. thinks theses new sounds are the best yet. An evolution from crunchy beats to channeled madness. Also Pleasurehorse finished up a full length 12" for the Minnesota label, History of the Future. Check it out, they also have an awesome mailorder of non-sucky electronic music.
