“I remember playing ‘Drank and Kites and Tomorrow’ from the band perth (with a lower case ‘p’ nonetheless, just to fuck over grammar Nazi’s. You’re move ∆lt-j) on the radio the other day and simply falling in love with it. Smooth, textured and simply loving electronica/psych music with a little bit extra to it, some meat that I couldn’t quite figure out no matter how much I chewed.All up, its better just to swallow it rather than ponder on the obscure ‘it’ factor that makes perth so goddamn delicious to listen to. It switches effortlessly between a bunch of genres, but always treads lovingly on the path of indie electronic music. If Four Tet were to swallow a bunch of Toro Y Moi bleach and overdose on some Washed Out pills, you’d get the sort of disturbed, tranquil and gorgeous feel of perth’s ‘What’s Your Utopia?’ album. From start to finish, the whole thing reeks of being amazingly talented. Fuck this Arcade Fire bullshit, if you want some indie music that’s tied down solidly with electronic pulses, listen to perth.”
