Pleasure EP

Semisonic

Grittier and less polished than their later hits, this EP captures a band finding their melodic voice through basement-haze guitars and earnest, unvarnished vocals.

October 10, 1995 · CherryDisc Records

A restless search for melody through a haze of mid-90s guitar distortion.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden crunch of distorted guitars on The Prize that signals a departure from the band's later polished sound.
