Permanent Pleasure is the fifth studio album by American indie rock band Joywave.

In an interview with Atwood Magazine, frontman Daniel Armbruster said Joywave spent more time working on Permanent Pleasure than any of their previous albums.

[1] The opening and closing tracks of the album sample messages by former mayor Thomas P. Ryan Jr. and the song "Rochester is a Grand Old City" from The Rochester Sesquicentennial, a 1984 album commemorating the 150th anniversary of the city's founding.

Vinyl copies of the album also came with a cat figurine to place on the center label while playing the record.

It's no surprise that this approach -- and really anything they've set their minds to -- works, resulting in yet another thoughtful, engaging, and thoroughly addictive effort to add to their arsenal.
