Paerish

<p>Paerish is a 4-piece alternative rock, indie rock band from Paris, France currently signed to Side One Dummy Records. They have 2 full length records &quot;Semi Finalists&quot; (2016)  and &quot;Fixed It All&quot; (2021), with their 3rd LP dropping August of 2023, produced again by Will Yip.</p>

<p>Parisian indie rockers, PÆRISH have unveiled details surrounding their forthcoming new album ‘You’re in both dreams (and you’re scared)’, to be released August 18, 2023 via SideOneDummy Records. The album was produced by Will Yip. With the announcement, the band has also released the first single and new music video for “Houses Of American Style”, which can be found on the new album and streamed below. </p><p>The title of the album can be found in David Lynch’s classic 2001 film ‘Mulholland Drive’. It’s a line spoken by one of the two men having a conversation in that movie’s incongruous diner scene. PÆRISH vocalist/guitarist Mathias Court was watching the movie for maybe the tenth time last year, and that line stood out to him like it never had before, because it resonated exactly with how he was feeling. “It really made me think about how my life was divided into two things,” he explains. “I was trying to live for the music, but at the same time have a good job, and ended up burning out. I was having a very rough year, and watching that scene really made me think about how my life was divided, and I was struck by that line because it really felt that that’s what was going on in my life. So watching the movie again kind of decided the name of the album for me.</p><p></p><p>”The new album follows 2021’s ‘Fixed it All’, also produced by Yip. &quot;…The second I heard PÆRISH, I knew it was going to be a home run if we worked together,” he explained. Getting to collaborate with them was an incredible experience. Their passion in their craft was infectious. They deserve to be huge. Honest, real, but massive songs.&quot;</p><p> </p><p>This album disproves the very anxieties and insecurities that inspired it. It opens with the solemn, heavy beauty of “Sequoia”, a song that’s simultaneously comforting and frenzied, beautiful and harrowing. It’s on the next track, “Daydreaming”, that crunching, heavy riffs PÆRISH have made their own, appear in full force, but afterwards they’re found throughout. “Amanita” is an overwhelming surge of tortured emotion that pulsates menacingly, the melancholy “it only bothers you” feels like it carries the entire burden of humanity on its shoulders, while “Houses Of American Style”, “Brian Wilfuzz” and “Worry” all sound like timeless classics from American alternative music’s heyday – albeit imbued with PÆRISH’s own distinct sparkle. It’s not all crushing riffs, however – in addition to “Sequoia”, “The Luck You Had” and final song “My Every Step” are moments of tender grace and beauty. It all combines to make this the album the band have been striving to make.</p><p> </p><p>“Writing for ‘You&#39;re in both dreams (and you&#39;re scared)’, I had never felt much confidence in recording an album as it all seemed so natural to us. Even more so when we arrived in Philly to work for the second time with our friend Will Yip,” continues Court.. “We already knew each other and the songwriting ideas were flowing all the time.Despite having one of the darkest songs we ever had, we had the absolute best time doing it together and we now feel we may have reached our final form as a band. These songs both feel heavier but also more spontaneous as everything just felt so right all the time.I think people will be able to see the evolution between each album we have and that&#39;s something we can be extremely proud of.”</p><p> </p>

You’re in both dreams (and you’re scared)

<p>Pærish has revealed the details surrounding their upcoming 10 track sophomore full length album titled "Fixed It All" set for release on April 23 through SideOneDummy Records. Today, they also release the song and lyric video for “Mike + Susan”, taken from the album, which fans can now stream below along with 3 other previously released singles from the forthcoming LP.&nbsp;</p>
<p>“Mike + Susan" is one of the best songs to summarize my writing process, as I tend to assemble pieces of my life and try to make them fit together,” explains vocalist and guitarist Mathias Court.  “It's a mix of different situations I've experienced. One of them is a discussion I had with a friend of mine, talking about the familiarity and warmth you sometimes feel when you arrive at train stations you've never been to. It's your first time there, but somehow you can feel like you know this place and someone is here waiting for you. Another story in that song was me being on a stopped train, writing on a notebook, and seeing a couple outside dancing in the parking lot. At that time, I was in a relationship that was pretty much about to end, and I realized how beautiful it was but also how I couldn't be insensitive to their happiness.”	</p>
