Oh it’s delicious readers. *insert drool emoji here*. Whether it’s emo, grunge, scuzz or good ol’ rock&roll that ticks your boxes, PAERISH’s latest release sounds like a future classic already. For those of you into your specific breed of rock, you’ll have heard of Will Yip – who worked on this track with them. For those that haven’t, heard of Turnstile? Superheaven? And those are just a couple of acts that’ll introduce you to the sheer elegnace and magic he brings to a track. Working together for many years now, the Paerish x Yip work really is sonically brilliant and surely must be a run into a yet unannounced album #4. Which may seem like an odd piece to write for in The Newlist, but we know there are many of you will be starting fresh with this band and some returning.
Vocalist / Guitaris Mathias Court shares: “Sometimes in life and at work, you come across people who make it quite clear that they don’t like you—which isn’t a problem in itself, but occasionally, those people will go out of their way to harm you or prevent you from living your life normally. The reasons vary, and so do the lies. “Wait for Dark” is about a confrontation with one of these individuals, the search for a motive, and the bitterness and jealousy involved. The protagonist expresses a mix of exhaustion and anger toward the whole situation, simply wanting to move forward and leave it behind. It’s a darker track than what we usually do, but also more energetic and more focused on a live feel—which is very much the main direction of our new album.”
