Eastwick' has longer, more lush reverb tails. 'Pre Pleasure' is dry and in your face.

Listen to the opening of “Savage” on Eastwick — that guitar bloom hangs in the air for a full second after each chord. Compare that to “Lydia Wears a Cross” from Pre Pleasure where the vocal reverb is so tight it might as well be a room mic.

Pre Pleasure was recorded with Sam Plews (so on the nose) and they went for a live-off-the-floor feel. The reverb is short, almost spring-like, pushing the vocal right into your ear. Eastwick brought in Mike Deslandes, who worked with the slower, more cinematic arrangements. Reverb tails are longer and more atmospheric — think church hall, not closet.

Jacklin’s voice gets a different treatment too. On Pre Pleasure the dry signal dominates; reverb is seasoning. On Eastwick the reverb is part of the arrangement, especially on “Good Guy” where the tail bleeds into the next phrase.

So if you want crisp, intimate, honest: Pre Pleasure. If you want spacious, dreamy, a little haunted: Eastwick. Both are correct, just different rooms.
