About four years ago, after coming back from tour, it became gradually clearer that the band as we knew it was not going to be the same for a while. Our favourite thing to do wasn’t really a thing anymore, and there was no other option than to retreat and concentrate on the only thing that was left: writing and playing music by ourselves, and for ourselves.
It seemed it could go on for a while, and the best way to make this time worth the pain and confusion it brought with it quickly appeared to be exploring musical ideas in a way we hadn’t before.
And so months after months, years after years, we worked on the craziest, most complex, prog themes-based, weirdest and most beautiful musical ideas we had ever had.
I am so happy with this album, and it has helped me to navigate and make sense of so many strange notions in such a strange time. And I am even happier that today is the day we put it all out there for you to listen to, and witness how much we’ve grown, how much we’ve missed doing what we do, and how thrilled we are to be back.
You can’t talk about Perilymph without talking about the really special people who are or have been Perilymph, in no particular order : Fabi , Timmy, Nick , Can , Nicky , Colin and Mitch.
And of course the other people who joined us on this journey,
@sonic.jue for his work through the years helping us achieve the most beautiful sound waves,
@pojpoj for sending us to many new places, Laurent
@sixtonnesdechairrecords for his trust and hard work since 2018, Stefan and Julien at
@stonepixelsrecords for their support and enthusiasm, Joe Carra at
@crystal_mastering for being the best at putting a cherry on top of our psychedelic cake, Leo for tying together our many ideas in a way that is actually possible to look at, Davor for literally reading our minds and coming up with the most perfect visual aid to get our point across.
Also much love to
@cvvision who let us use some of his weird and inspiring tools, and Shahin who successfully came up with the most Perilymph thing in text form.
Anyway, sorry for the long text, we’re so happy today is today, and we hope you have the time to give our music a listen, link in bio.
Bisous, Perilymph
