Psychedelia.

Pure Ecstasy is the latest incarnation of a long-standing collaboration between Austin, Texas musicians and long-term friends Nate Grace, Jesse Jenkins and Austin Youngblood. Coming together so organically that they had to name the impromptu act in a hurry when an impending tour was approaching, it’s startling to behold just what a fully-formed identity they have carved out already. Patient, sparse and never any less than heartbreaking, the clutch of songs making up Pure Ecstasy’s material to date have a sonic originality that many artists spend entire careers trying to cultivate. That’s not to be mistaken – Pure Ecstasy are a Rock ‘n’ Roll band in the tradition’s truest sense. They are, afterall, three men using traditional instruments to forge songs of romance, longing, loneliness and regret; of love, lust and death.
