  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Soylent Green Recordings from Hamburg, Germany is proud to present Perennial on vinyl for the first time.

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

locked jaw from stressful sleep
in my dreams there’s no peace
can’t escape this sickening reality
this hurt invades me
your warmth evades me
you’re blissfully unaware
at least you pretend to be
am i dying,
did you do this to me?

i’ve been keeping busy
collecting all the teeth you pulled
confessions made just for the pain
just for the look on my face when i’d realize
you’re just a devil in disguise

angels cry

raise me
erase me
i spend days gazing longingly at the sun
pretending I am capable of feeling warm
you’re blissfully unaware
at least you pretend to be
i am dying
why did you do this to me?

my body as a house for flies
embrace their halo, reject life
