Luxembourg Trio Pleasing Release New Single “BLEAK”

Luxembourg-based trio Pleasing has released “BLEAK,” the first single from their upcoming new EP due for release this fall via Two Steps Twice.

In 2018, a leap into the unknown left Luxembourg-based artist Patrick Miranda wanting something more. Together with Xavier Hofmann and Sacha Ewen, they founded Pleasing. Since their formation, in the midst of Patrick’s search for relief from complicated emotions, the alias has been embarking on a journey of exploring often stigmatized topics of depression, loneliness, meaningless, and the attempts to learn to live with those feelings, appealing to various audiences and securing spots at major French festivals Motorcultor and Francofolies de la Rochelle in 2023.

Now about to release the second of the two interlinked EPs, Pleasing is continuing their search for deeper meanings, aiming to extend their reach towards more audiences and territories.

“BLEAK” is a bleak look into the life of a flower waiting to bloom. Pleasing is placing two polar opposites – an elegant and alluring flower against its unpoetic short and in a way hopeless life, forcing the listeners to see beyond the visible beauty, creating a captivating metaphor with a focus on the concept of meaning, which Pleasing is known for.
