American Pleasure Club

American Pleasure Club (fka Teen Suicide) touring with Special Explosion

Teen Suicide had been planning on changing their name for a while, and they recently settled on American Pleasure Club. Their first album under that name, A Whole Fucking Lifetime of This, comes out on February 16 via Run For Cover (pre-order), and so far four songs are out from the album. There’s the shoegazy punk of “this is heaven & id die for it” and “new years eve,” the lo-fi folk of “all the lonely nights in your life,” and “lets move to the desert,” which is closer to the hazy electronic pop of AMP singer Sam Ray’s Ricky Eat Acid project. You can hear all four songs below.

American Pleasure Club have now announced a tour in support of the album, with Special Explosion joining them on all dates. That’s an awesome pairing; Special Explosion had one of the best late-2017 releases with To Infinity (Topshelf Records), which sorta combines early Death Cab and Modest Mouse, post-rock, American Football, and more (stream the album below).

The tour ends in Brooklyn on May 26 at Baby’s All Right. Tickets for the whole tour are on artist presale now, and tickets for the Baby’s show go on sale Wednesday (2/7) at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.
