mission
Gravity Pleasure emerged from the desire to platform marginalized artists working across ambient, experimental, leftfield, and no-genre music and sound. Rooted in care, collaboration, and solidarity — with each other and with the planet — we are a music label, platform, and event series dedicated to supporting FLINTA* artists shaping expansive sonic worlds.
Grounded in an intersectional ecofeminist ethos, Gravity Pleasure exists to uplift marginalized voices and cultivate practices of deep listening, kinship, and relationality with the more-than-human world. Through a hydrofeminist methodology, we approach sound as fluid and connective, a medium through which new forms of collective care can emerge.
As queer, ecologically attuned artists navigating a time of climate crisis and systemic disconnection, we understand platforming FLINTA voices, fundraising for mutual aid, curating inclusive listening spaces, and supporting planetary well-being as inseparable acts. Each is a gesture toward interdependence and transformation.
We are honored to share our first compilation album, Water Bodies, as a collective offering that brings this ethos into resonance.
GP01: Water Bodies V/A
“Gravity Pleasure's inaugural release, Water Bodies, is a rippling compilation of FLINTA (female, lesbian, intersex, nonbinary, trans, agender) artists through ambient, experimental, and leftfield sound. Across 21 tracks, Water Bodies spans a post-genre miasma of ethereal mermaid music, cathartic flows, and glistening sibilants ~ each one an exquisite message-in-a-bottle of deep diving emotionality. Pulling from a wide-range of musical perspectives ~ field recording, lovesick ballads, shimmering downtempo, post-party comedown, and percolating ambient ~ the compilation contains multitudes yet maintains deep sentimental coherence. Like a wave crashing in slow motion, it sonifies possible ways of being, insisting on the porous, the interdependent, and the deep and unruly. Water Bodies reminds us that home is a body made of water, to which we all belong."
