Art-punk trio Perennial have announced their newest EP and offered up its explosive first single “Dissolver.” The Leaves of Autumn Symmetry, out September 1, is an in-studio reworking of the group’s 2017 debut The Symmetry of Autumn Leaves. Five of the group’s first songs have been polished and perfected, brought back to life with an even sharper sonic edge under producer Chris Teti. “We really took time to cut these songs up into collage material and see what new angles we could find,” explains guitarist Chad Jewet, “splashing paint on them, replacing instruments and making the whole thing a bit more modernist, a bit more impressionistic.”
“Dissolver,” a biting, acerbic high point on the record, sees Perennial at their best. Mountainous guitar licks and energetic, delinquent lyrics rise and then fall, building to a final minute of lilting, screechy excellence.
