Directed by Malcolm Elijah . He puts his beautiful imagination to Pure X's "Surface" from their astute Pleasure LP. Some serious Fellini vibes up in here. previously: Pure X - Back Where I Began
Tuesday reminded me of London. It’s not hard, climate-wise, for Seattle and London to recall each other. Sitting at about the same latitude, plagued by fussy, amorphously damp air – hovering always somewhere between wet cold and rain the consistency of snow – and terminally, brightly gray, the two cities are sisters-in-ambience. But some days [Read Full Post...]
Hello Friends, July 30th is right around the corner(yep, literally...it's tomorrow), and I'll be back behind the turntables at the Diamond ! I'm still going to be spinning 97% vinyl, with the those rare couple new jams that I can't go without playing. Beginning of the evening is going to be my normal dose of rock n' roll, punk, twee, and indie...but thanks to some experimental purchases (and Ron at Permanent Records pointing me in the direction I want to go) I'm going to be [...]
Over the weekend, we found ourselves sunbaked, beer in hand, staring at nothing for hours on end. It was great! Over half that time was spent listening to Pure X’s album Pleasure, which is out ... read more
MP3: Pure X - "Dry Ice" Have you ever heard what a daydream sounds like? A listen through "Dry Ice" certainly feels like one, with its spacey, washed out guitar chords ebbing and flowing out of your eardrums. It's this mirage of languid waves that begins to make you feel just as blissful and confused as singer Nate Grace. He's got a thing for this girl, but she's hard to read; it's a beautiful feeling, but a rather disorienting feeling, as well. If a daydream ever had a soundtrack, "Dry Ice" would be it. [...]
Pure X — Dry Ice I’m not sure how it happened, but Austin TX’s Pure X (formerly Pure Ecstasy) must have completely slipped my radar. I’d heard their name tossed around the blog water cooler, but it wasn’t until today’s post on Altered Zones that I actually ventured a listen. While their name and blood-red cover art (see above) had me envisioning some sort of churning, skull-crackin’ punk outfit, there’s no abrasion or guttural wails to be found here. “Dry [...]
Pure X's Pleasure continues to provide just that. The Austin trio's sleepy, hazy followup to the reissued You're In It Now EP arrived out of nowhere and - one pretty, loose, patient, blown-out, warmly melancholic song at a time - has become one of my favorite albums of 2011. You heard " Twisted Mirror ." Get lost in "Dry Ice." Read More...
When posting those new and remastered tracks from Austin trio Pure X's You're In It Now EP , I mentioned the band's forthcoming pretty, sleepy Pleasure full-length, an album that was recorded live without overdubs and that reminds me of their hometown slowcore forebears Bedhead in its looseness, spaciousness, patience, warm melancholia, and quiet etc's. Here's "Twisted Mirror" from the gently persuasive, addictive LP: Read More...
mp3: Pure X - Twisted Mirror Austin's Pure X (formerly Pure Ecstasy) are about to release their debut full-length Pleasure , which will see the light of day on August 22 thanks to Acephale Records . The trio recently released a now sold-out 123 for the track "You're In It Now". You can check out the video for that track below. "Twisted Mirror" is the first taste from the new LP and it prominently features the beautiful, vintage distortion effect of the guitars that has always [...]
Texas slow core rockers Pure X, are set to drop their debut LP Pleasure this summer.

Pure X display their engrossing and intimate live show-a show that based on their music you might predict to be uneventful, thought it is incredibly loud and breathtaking. Just so happens the band has new tour dates up on their website , please check that out they are going all over. Check out "Back Where I Began" below. Pure X - Back Where I Began
It takes a few seconds to get your bearings in Pure X’s video for "You're In It Now," from their re-released debut EP of the same name. The camera is out of focus and you ... read more
The band formerly known as Pure Ecstasy has a (very pretty, sleepy) new album Pleasure out in July. In anticipation, the trio's re-released a remixed/remastered version of their debut EP, You're In It Now . We've already posted the updated EP's previously unreleased " Back Where I Began ." Like that last dispatch, the title track has me thinking of old favorites, Pure X's elder Austin "slowcore" forebears Bedhead. Listen: Read More...
In case you weren't aware, we participate in this Monday Mixer thing which was started by Ben over at The Metropolitan Jolt and basically each week, one of a group of us sends out a theme and everyone picks a song on that theme. This week it was my turn to pick and, not surprisingly, the theme that I went with was lo-fi. Basically, songs that sound like the way the picture above works (by the way, we got that image from futureneer ). Here's what everyone picked, starting with myself. [...]
![[Listen/Download] – New Song By Pure X – “Back Where I Began”](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3345948_lg.jpg)
This post is a “QuickPick”. QuickPicks are my attempt at getting all of the music that’s sent to me that I like (or just music I like but have no words for because it’s so awesome), out into the dubya dots. Any time I get sent music that I like I “star” it in Gmail and then go back and listen to it a day later. If it’s still as good as it was a day before then it goes up on the site, but sometimes I get backlogged and can’t get through writing up pieces for each [...]

Austin trio Pure Ecstasy is now Austin trio Pure X, which makes the name of their debut somehow dirtier (that, or the chains and roses on its cover). Pleasure 's not out until July. Before then, perhaps to jog memories, their You're In It Now EP's been re-released as a limited-edition 123. In addition to its three original songs, the record also includes an unreleased track, "Back Where I Began," which comes from the same You're In It session. It's a shadowy, pretty one with a bit of Texas twang. Take a listen: [...]
Pure X used to be called Pure Ecstasy. We've said that a lot so we're probably going to stop saying it. The name is different but the meaning is still there. The band is from ... read more
