Mannequin Pussy have shared a new song called ‘Perfect’, the latest single and title track from the Philadelphia indie punk band’s upcoming EP. Check it out below, alongside an acompanying video.
“Last year, I found myself spending more time on my phone than I ever had in my life. Physically separate from other people, I spent hours of time watching other humans perform on my rectangle. I realized that through years of social media training, many of us have grown this deep desire to manicure our lives to look as perfect, as aspirational as possible,” vocalist/guitarist Missy explained in a statement. “We want to put ourselves out there, share our lives, our stories, our day to day – and these images and videos all shout the same thing: ‘Please look at me, please tell me I’m so perfect.’ It’s simultaneously a declaration of our confidence but edged with the desperation that seeks validation from others.”
Mannequin Pussy’s Perfect EP is out May 21 via Epitaph. Previously, the band shared the single ‘Control’, which landed on the week’s Best New Songs segment.
