░▒▓█ＳＥＲＰＥＮＴ／／ＢＲＥＡＴＨ█▓▒░

‘Drank and Kites and Tomorrow’ is the new single by Australian outfit perth, taken from their forthcoming sophomore album "What’s Your Utopia?" (Nov. 14th 2013).

There’s a triumphant yet subtle majesty to ‘Drank and Kites and Tomorrow’ as the track summons forth glowing brass arrangements, reverb-drenched vocals and skittering breakbeats crafted from found sounds. What begins as an addictive dream-pop tune with a wonderfully bucolic atmosphere builds into a krautrock jam reminiscent of Neu! and Caribou if they’d used ocarina and Casiotone. This opening to their forthcoming sophomore album is a delicious portal into perth’s incandescent musical universe.

perth’s new album "What's Your Utopia?" (Nov. 14th 2013)  manages to meld psychedelic pop, folk-laced electronica and shoegaze into a beautifully cohesive statement – a tribute to the idea of a fond place, or utopia, quietly residing in 'no place', beyond ourselves. The band’s magic lies in their ability to refract the individual members' unique sensibilities through an experimental lens.

perth - 'Drank and Kites and Tomorrow'

Part of the opening track from my latest ambient album Real Life and How To Avoid It, out on CD, download and streamies.

This track (like most of my music) was improvised live in my studio with most of my synths rather than just the laptop. 
It is another example of me exploring ways of making even more minimal music that is still satisfying.

Human

This is a song about someone falling in love with a hologram. Or maybe about a hologram who falls in love with someone. I dedicate it to Erasmo Carlos, Louise Brooks, and The Flamingos.
