While the rest of the music industry has found a new best friend in the vocoder and merely continues their long-standing alliance with the synthesizer, The Perfects are one of the few bands that seamlessly meld those futuristic sounds with the melodic core of yesterday. Echoing the works of Duran Duran and The Cure, The Perfects are quickly cultivating a fan-base as rabid as those in the early days of music videos, when their inspirations ruled the airways.
Founding member Ric Peters started The Perfects in 2005. Heading into the studio with Nic Hard in 2006 (The Bravery, The Church), The Perfects came back with the self-titled EP that won over critics and new fans alike. DJ Richard Vission, whose work often appears on the top of the billboard charts, did the remix for the song "Shipwrecked" (the remix is available for free when fans sign up for his mailing list). The Perfects also remixed for Mindless Self Indulgence - "What do They Know?" on Another Mindless Ripoff EP, - earning the respect of fans of the indie band who then threw their support to The Perfects. Coupling a strong record with exciting, frenetic live shows, The Perfects proved themselves to be more than just another studio act.
Now, with the release of Future Automatic (early 2009 release) and the lead single "End of Us," (available on iTunes and Amazon) Peters once again finds himself paired with producer Hard for an album sure to titillate the eardrums and send people to the dance floor, while still maintaining its artistic integrity. With the help of people who manned the boards for Madonna, Justin Timberlake, David Bowie and Garbage, Future Automatic is sure to introduce The Perfects to a new wave of fans. Is it possible that a band named The Perfects may have just created the perfect album for 2009? Absolutely.
I swear, everytime I listen to "Because Of You", I get the craziest post-Raynor Blink 182 vibe. What's weird about this is that is that I hate Barker, but I totally dig this.
PS people hope you're diggin my remix of New Life :g
