An absolute joy of an album. Golden 80's style nuggets that will gte caught in your head after just one play. Video Age’s third album, out on Winspear, pairs neon-bright 80s pop melodies with a vast range of influences (including Janet Jackson, David Bowie, and Paul McCartney) to create an optimistic sound all their own. The influences vary song to song, but they’re all tinted with the same rosy hue. These are catchy, memorable songs that radiate big “glass-half full” energy. <i>Pleasure Line</i> is a salve that protects against cynicism—listening to this album, you can’t help but feel the world around you is full of romantic potential.

Video Age’s first two albums were about loneliness and discovering oneself, but <i>Pleasure Line </i>takes on a whole new attitude, considering songwriting partners Ross Farbe and Ray Micarelli are both getting married this year (just a few weeks apart from each other, too). But these songs aren’t expressions of one-dimensional puppy love—this is euphoria with depth, ecstasy with complications.
