Lannons' sophomore effort shows him in full bloom as a musician and lyricist. No finer CD has come down the pike in quite some time. Like its predecessor - 'Chemical Friends' - 'Pressure' relies on acoustic chords to form the foundation for many songs but Nyles certainly isn't shy using his electric guitar, as shown by the muscular second track "Next Obsession". Beyond strings, though, this album is marked by a mastery of electronic recording techniques. Coupled with insanely catchy melodies, these songs, with their lush harmonies, treated vocals, and other sonic surprises, weave a tapestry of sound ranging from space rock to psychedelia to trance, with subtle reminders of Nyles' folktronic predecessor, 'Chemical Friends'. It's difficult to pigeon-hole "Pressure." No matter, just slip on the earphones, close your eyes, and be transported. "Pressure" will blow you away.
