THE ALTERNATIVE PREMIERE: "34th and West"
getalternative.com/track-premiere-perhapsy-34th-west

"Derek Barber has become a go-to Bay Area guitarist for projects where the guitar is peripheral, not central. In the self-proclaimed “Afro-soul” of Bells Atlas, and the progressive vibe music of Astronauts, etc, and Madeline Kenney, Barber’s licks are intricate accents to songs that wouldn’t necessarily be described as “guitar music.” His ability to find tones and compositional shapes that blend with, for example, the shoreline breeziness of Madeline Kenney’s lounge-pop “Know,” has yielded him a versatile repertoire.

His solo output under the name Perhapsy has been similarly wide-ranging stylistically. However, on his latest and best record Kingdom Starlight Bliss (out 11/23), he stretches his six-string savviness into a fluid batch of aerial shoegaze. Unlike other modern gazers like Nothing and Cloakroom, Barber’s production and instrumental colors are explicitly reminiscent of the 90’s opuses from Slowdive and My Bloody Valentine. During a blind listen, the record could conceivably be a lost relic of that era, which is both weird and amazing. More than anything, though, it speaks to Barber’s inter-generational songwriting prowess. The dude’s pushing the artform forward while also recreating, with eye-brow raising accuracy, an inimitable era of the genre’s history.

“34th & West,” which we’re premiering below, is the second single from Kingdom Starlight Bliss and it’s like the heavenly haze of Cocteau Twins meets the propulsion of Loveless. The groove is tight, the guitars are spindly, the vocals are splattered with reverb, and the hook is dangling somewhere between all three.

Stream it below and leave space in your year-end drafts for when this record drops in late November. It’s a doozy."

Désert Sentimental

vaya con dios, bra

beautiful s*n in the gloom of home 
rearranging each one of her chromosomes 
1010001100 
perfect specimen 

coming undone at the seams and stoned 
still she rides to the sun 
wild west hero 

i know 
i know 
another night alone 
round a blazing fire 

oh no 
oh no 
where'd everybody go? 
guess i'll let you know 

oh no 
i know 
another night alone 
stay as cool as you are

die for u

also on spotify/apple music/etc.

wake up start your routine
come home and go to sleep
keep those thoughts from your head
keep calm and smile instead

don’t look now your time is gone
did it take that long?

sorry it’s too late
we already know your fate
you will be like the rest
but stay strong and try your best

don’t look now your time is gone
did it take that long?

don't look now

Stuck in the line 
Close to the sign 
That brought you full attention 

Pushing stares 
Why would you care 
Focused on attention 

Leaving behind 
A talk of time 
Sounding Like Perfection 

You hold what you like 
Instant Insight 
Of all thats needed now 

I'm Looking for a new obsession 
The spirits gone 
Just working on a new idea 
Its next to none 

Two sided mic 
In the wrong light 
you've got bad intentions 

Waiting for weeks 
struggle with ease 
Whats this bad connection 

Never you mind 
Hold it with pride 
Knocking off your shoulder 

Now this isn't true 
A brick sized bruise 
Is from all the things I knew 

I'm following a new obsession 
I know you're down 
I thought I had a self confliction 
Then I came around 

I love this way too much to 
Be forced to know why 
It's nothing but a new idea 
To hold tonight 

And when moments you think 
You got yourself in an illusion 
Oh sometimes you've got your mind 
Twisted in vines... Mr. All Knowing 
Why can't you face me when nothing seems to work 
And those simple song predictions in my head 
You know you're in here 

I'm talkin about new ideas 
Get out line 
I want you to find your placement 
Cause I know its time.

I just stole my own identity
Theres nowhere to dance so lets head back home
We’re just floating in infinity 
Big ball of fire don’t burn me out
It’s been a while since I faked my smile
My mirrors’ looking at me sideways
Can’t seem to pay my way through this turnstile
She said well you can stay at my place

I don’t even smoke but I could get high with you  x4

This sounds like this shit I used to listen to in high school
It’s hard to be yourself when no one fucking likes you
Hopped in that Disko Lyft, just met this foster kid
Im with the birthday girl, yeah we’ve been kicking it
She don’t believe in God, left handed goofy switch
Im in her cosmic slop, Pinkman yeah science bitch
Don’t get to close to me, Im not who I appear
Don’t need more enemies, white lines on tiny mirrors. . .

I don’t even smoke but I could get high with you x4
