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
set out into the night
guided by the truth of the moonlight and you
hope springs eternal, but i have none
as i look up and realize that we see the same sky
but from different stars
home will never be where you are
why are you so far?
the lights went out
now i understand your pain
from carrying this cross that's now on my back
as i look up and realize that we see the same sky
but from different stars
home will never be where you are
grief and relief, blurring in time
the words we said are now worth nothing
under a weeping willow we will meet
(flowers on your grave mimic what i can't say)
bathing in dirt, sound asleep
lay your bones on mine
intertwined
with this last caress
in death i am yours
