What A Pleasure (EP)
''What a Pleasure'' is the first EP from American indie rock band Beach Fossils released on March 8, 2011, through Captured Tracks. The EP was produced by lead vocalist and primary songwriter Dustin Payseur. Background and recording Following the release of their eponymous debut album in 2010 to critical acclaim, Beach Fossils continued to tour extensively. While on tour the band would frequently play extremely high-energy and fast performances. This eventually proved to be physically exhausting, so their forthcoming project would contain much slower tempos. All of the songs on ''What A Pleasure'' were written and composed by Dustin Payseur, with contributions from bassist John Peña, as well as Jack Tatum of the band Wild Nothing. On May 18, 2021 Beach Fossils announced via Instagram that they will be performing a livestream show of the band playing both ''Beach Fossils'' and ''What A Pleasure EP'' in their entirety.
