Mannequin Pussy lassen den Titeltrack ihrer kommenden EP auf euch los. Die „Perfect“ EP wird am 21. Mai via Epitaph erscheinen. Der gleichnamige Song ist jetzt samt Musikvideo auf YouTube verfügbar. Die Indie-Punker köderten Hörer:innen bereits mit einem Video zu „Control“.
Inhaltlich setzen sich Song und Video mit der „perfekten“ Schein-Welt der Social Media Landschaft auseinander. Gitarristin und Sängerin Missy zum aktuellen Song:
“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 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.”
