Today, Welsh-born Bristol-based three-piece The Pleasure Dome have made their return, announcing their latest EP, Liminal Space, set for release May 10th, the first material to follow on from the band’s critically acclaimed debut album Equinox. Alongside the announcement, the band have shared the EP’s first single, ‘The Duke Part II (Friends and Enemies)’.
Of the single, vocalist and songwriter, Bobby Spender explains:
I work in a pub alongside doing the band, sometimes it gets me down. You see people you like, people you don’t like and they’re all getting drunk and it’s easy to feel lost if you’re going through a hard time. The song has a message of hope, sometimes where you are is exactly where you need to be.
Liminal Space captures a challenging time for the band. The band’s drummer and bassist departed immediately after a successful tour and well-received album. Then, adding only insult to injury, Spender experienced the end of a romantic relationship, before being evicted from his home, all within the space of a few months.
Instead of getting lost in thoughts of what could have been, Spender channelled his emotions into his music. This resulted in the creation of a collection of tracks that reflected this period of his life, giving birth to Liminal Space.
The Pleasure Dome are set to play two shows after Liminal Space’s release, taking place on May 16th at London’s Victoria, and May 17th at Bristol’s The Louisiana. Tickets are on sale now.
