Shed Seven - Instant Pleasures

Vinyl LP pressing. 2017 release, the fifth album from the British band, their first since 2001's Truth Be Told. Shed Seven were one of the leading lights of Britpop with two gold albums and 15 Top 40 singles under their belt. Instant Pleasures was produced by legendary producer Youth from Killing Joke, who's previously worked with other esteemed musicians such as Kate Bush, U2, Depeche Mode and The Charlatans. Frontman Rick Witter remarks that it works in two ways. Not only is it a comment on our tech-obsessed, social media crazy, instantaneous world, it's also a literal tongue-in-cheek reference to the tracks themselves. "Whatever you want these days you just click a button and you're instantly pleasured," says Witter. "It's certainly the way the world seems to turn at the minute. But it's also a nice little nod because if you were to play our album you'd be instantly pleasured. There are twelve pretty damn cool songs on there."
