The Discussion

Warm cold dark light ~ This is the solo project and vision of Laura Pleasants previously known for her work with the indie metal / psych rock band KYLESA. Fresh out of the studio with producer JASON CORBETT of the band ACTORS, Laura takes her love and roots of New / Cold Wave, Post-Punk, and Goth to the forefront with The Discussion. "All The Pretty Flowers" is a hypnotic descent into shadowy beauty—where post-punk guitars shimmer, synths pulse like distant city lights, and melodies drift between dream and nightmare. Laura Pleasants crafts a world that feels both cinematic and deeply intimate, pulling from the eerie romance of classic goth and the stark minimalism of coldwave. Each track blooms in its own way—some quietly haunting, others pulsing with a restless energy, all wrapped in a moody haze that lingers long after the music fades. There’s a ghostly nostalgia woven through these songs, a sense of wandering empty streets at dawn or catching a stranger’s reflection in a rain-slicked window. Whether it's the meditative swirl of Blue Light, the driving urgency of In The Mirror, or the spectral drift of Fade Away, All the Pretty Flowers invites you into its dusky, neon-lit universe. Put it on, let it play, and get lost in the glow. "All The Pretty Flowers" is now available on Artoffact Records.
