Pleasure Syndrome is the second studio album by the Australian alternative rock/post-punk band Witch Hats, released through Longtime Listener/BMG on 14 October 2011.[6]
The album was produced by US-born producer/engineer Casey Rice (Dirty Three, Tortoise).[7][8] Guitarist Tom Barry left the group shortly after the recording sessions of Pleasure Syndrome and was quickly replaced by Robert Wrigley.[9]
A video clip for "Hear Martin" was released (view here) in August 2011,[10] which was followed by a second clip for "In the Mortuary" in January 2012.[11] In June 2012, Buscombe spoke to "The Brag'" about Pleasure Syndrome saying that while he is satisfied with the album as a piece of work, he is disappointed with its longevity and also revealed that they had problems with their record label, Longtime Listener who distributed it.[12]
