Art-Punk Trio Perennial Announce New Album ‘In The Midnight Hour’; Share Lead Single “Perennial In A Haunted House”

Connecticut art punk trio PERENNIAL have announced that their second album, In The Midnight Hour, will be released on CD & cassette on 1st February 2022, with vinyl coming 1st March 2022. To celebrate the news, the band have released lead single ‘Perennial In A Haunted House’, which is out now on bandcamp.

Commenting on the single, the band said: “Narratively, we wanted to capture that odd, ghostly quiet after the party has died down, long past the witching hour, after the needle’s been lifted from the record. The song itself couldn’t be louder, but in terms of story the mood is this quiet, haunting thing. Moments like that are like haunted houses of our own making: even mirrors or shadows or balloons are a little bit eerie at that point; that stillness in the room a few hours after New Year’s, when it’s just an empty ballroom and yesterday’s party outfits.”

The New England post-hardcore three-piece started experimenting with structures, song lengths, instrument combinations; how loud a song could be, but also just how quiet a song could be. Where a tambourine could replace a chord; where a bit of drum machine could stand in for a crescendo of guitars. And on their new single, the group highlight give a taste of the new direction for a searing minute-fourty two dose of roaring guitars, colliding vocals, and dance-punk riffs.
