Solid Pleasure

Solid Pleasure is a synth pop duo made up of Neave Merrick and Lucy Milani. The project blends mutant disco, Italo body music and no wave: all genres that soundtracked Neave’s somewhat solitary teenage years on the Isle of Wight. Back then, he honed his production skills using just a synth, a guitar, a battered vocal mic, and a Tascam 4-track tape recorder—a stripped-down, analog process he’s now returned to after years in the digital wilderness.
