Philly punk rockers Mannequin Pussy have shared their new song titled “Perfect,” which you can check out below. The song serves as the title-track to their upcoming EP, which drops on May 21, 2022 (pre-order).
“Last year, I found myself spending more time on my phone than I ever had in my life. Physically separate from other people, I spent hours of time watching other humans perform on my rectangle. I realized that through years of social media training, many of us have grown this deep desire to manicure our lives to look as perfect, as aspirational as possible,” says vocalist/guitarist Missy on the inspiration behind the song.
Missy adds, “We want to put ourselves out there, share our lives, our stories, our day to day – and these images and videos all shout the same thing: ‘Please look at me, please tell me I’m so perfect.’ It’s simultaneously a declaration of our confidence but edged with the desperation that seeks validation from others.”
