  1. 8.0 |   Beats Per Minute

    Pleasure would best be reserved for a cloudy morning, for a warm cup of coffee in a lonely house, for solitude

  2. 8.0 |   God Is In The TV

    A solid, nicely put together set of likeable songs from some talented guys who know their stuff

  3. 8.0 |   The Fly

    A gorgeous assault on the senses that strips your mind bare, only to build it back up again, bit by euphoric bit

  4. 7.6 |   Pitchfork

    Pure X may not be breaking new ground, but as far as deadbeat summer vibes done right go, Pleasure is one killer drag

  5. 7.5 |   Bowlegs

    This isn’t music to pass the time – with Pure X you lay and listen until the last embers of guitar and reverb have finally burnt out

    This is a strong set. Print edition only

  10. 6.0 |   The Guardian

    Half-drunk, half-tired, half-ecstatic

  11. 6.0 |   PopMatters

    Like Galaxie 500 stuck on layover in Hawaii, this is not music of the shadows, but emptiness in the bright open day
