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
put me on a shelf in the back of your mind
as the dust collects, run your fingers over my spine
help me feel some kind of life
the light that i can see in your eyes left me long ago,
but when I see you it burns
like your heavy thoughts
(all these “what ifs” and “can’t forgets”)
i am weighing you down
like a tragic death, some things are better left unsaid
another sleepless night is proof while you cry and whisper:
"restless spirit, why’d you bring me here?
restless spirit, why’d you appear?"
a reminder of what we can’t deny:
some things cannot die, they just grow
(pulled the thorn out of your side. the bleeding didn’t stop, it just got worse.)
