French alt-emo band Paerish have announced their fourth full-length, Rita, due October 16, 2026 via SideOneDummy Records.
Once again working with Grammy-winning producer Will Yip, the Paris quartet built the eleven-song record around the energy of their live show, pushing toward a louder, brasher, rawer and more immediate version of their sound. The result is guitar-fueled, anthemic alternative rock that pulls from emo and post-grunge, layered with shoegazey textures, crushing riffs and monster hooks. The album draws on childhood memories, the passing of time and the need to hold onto the creative instinct that first pushed the band to make music.
Alongside the announcement, Paerish have shared the driving new single “Vapor Cloud.” Vocalist/guitarist Mathias Court says the song grew from reflecting on years spent writing music and wondering whether the urge to create can fade as people move further into adulthood.
“Vapor Cloud” follows the previously released crushing single “Wait For Dark,” which arrived earlier this year.
Rita is available to pre-order here.
