Mannequin Pussy reveal the title track of their recently announced coming EP, Perfect, and it's a brief, infuriated punk rock ripper akin to the band's established sound and the openness which usually comes in their lyrical content.
Consistent with the band's tradition of creative, fun and well made accompanying visuals, the new track comes with a clip directed the band's own, Missy, and it's themed on a ten-year high school reunion, taking cues from the nineties comedy, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.
"Last year, I found myself spending more time on my phone than I ever had in my life," says Missy. "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."
Perfect comes out on May 21st, 2021 through Epitaph.
