The ambitious and prolific Sam Ray-led project (now formerly) known as Teen Suicide has been saddled with that terrible name for a long while, and finally, after many years of promising to change it, they’ve officially done it. They will now be known as American Pleasure Club, a name that they’ve used sporadically throughout the years, most recently on a series of songs posted on Tumblr over the last couple months. To accompany the name change, the band has released a new mini-album called I Blew On A Dandelion And The Whole World Disappeared, which will be available to order on tape for the next week. You can stream the new release below.

Last week, Ray also released a collection of unfinished and unreleased tracks under his Ricky Eat Acid moniker. You can also listen to that here:
