  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Soylent Green Recordings from Hamburg, Germany is proud to present Perennial on vinyl for the first time. This pressing comes in three different hand-numbered, silkscreened covers and on two vinyl color variants complete with alternate artwork from the CD release. Comes with digital download code and sticker.

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Forfeit’s Perennial throws itself between heartache and hope with guitars tearing from delicate arpeggios to fuzzed out walls of sound, while desperate singing brings you inside the yearning of Perennial’s stories. This recalls the raw exuberance of the mid-90s midwestern scene, but isn’t nostalgia or imitation.


    Perennial barrels forward with breakneck speed. Wearing past and present influences on its sleeve, this album pays homage to Forfeit’s predecessors while definitively carving out their own sound and place among their peers.


    Taking the title of Perennial literally, this is an enduring record: one that is both familiar, new, and everlasting.

lyrics

i thought you could be straight with me
but like everything else, i was wrong
cold air can’t burn the coldest of hearts
signals missed and false starts
say “i do”
say that you miss me too
and I’ll pretend that you mean it
january brings new air
but these old habits won’t loosen their grip
as they choke any semblance of life from me
i hope you’re happy, at least one of us should be
a dog wandering on the street
you walked with me, gave me scraps to eat
(words too blunt to cut, words too blunt to cut
your worm still in my gut, i used to think this made us close)
a silent goodbye
i’ll try to understand that feelings are fleeting
and sometimes we say things that we don’t mean
i thought i meant something more to you
but i am just a stray
and it’s time for me to move on
