Mount Pleasant is Christchurchs’ Jonathan Phillips. He writes very frustrating music. Beautiful and moving, yet often unsatisfying and annoying, Songs end abruptly, fade out or simply end way before you’re ready. They tease with tempting hooks and then just like they pick you up, they drop you straight back down again. Reflecting the cheap lo-fi manner in which they were recorded, songs either peak and distort, or are so quiet you need to lean into your stereo just to hear it. It took some time, but after several listens, I’m now totally putty listening to this record.

Be putty too.
