Haley explains the political decision to make forthcoming LP 'Pleasureland' a fully instrumental album
Canadian-born artist Haley McCallum, known professionally as Haley Bonar for the past 15 years, is all set to unveil her latest album 'Pleasureland', this Friday, Oct. 12, via Memphis Industries.
It's Haley's ninth studio album to date and a follow-up to the highly acclaimed 'Impossible Dream', which dropped in 2016 to rave reviews. Between then and now, the Minnesota-based singer-songwriter legally changed her name from Haley Bonar to Haley McCallum -- taking on her mother's maiden surname -- and adopted the stage-name HALEY. But that's not the only thing that's changed.
'Pleasureland' is an ocean of stark, minimalist, and melodically entrancing tunes, but what is glaringly missing from the album is Haley's powerful vocal flair. Picking up from her 2011 release 'Golder' (which featured two instrumental tracks), 'Pleasureland' walks us through a range of emotions through its 12 tracks as it takes a hard left turn from all of her previous material.
