New England mod-punk trio Perennial return with Perennial '65, a bold new EP that finds them diving even deeper into the mid-60s garage-pop that they first explored on their bold 2024 LP, Art History.
Inspired by the between-album EPs of sixties bands like The Beatles (whose Beatles '65 compilation inspired the title) and The Who's Ready Steady Who, Perennial's even more playful and dynamic on Perennial '65, fusing British Invasion hooks with their signature art-punk chaos.
"Perennial '65," the title track out today, is a sharp and direct blast of organ, tambourine, and fuzzed-out bass––"Perennial trying to write the 15th track for Rubber Soul," the band puts it. "We wanted something with a bit more of that Maximum R&B groove." It's also the first track to feature new drummer Ceej Dioguardi (they/them), who joined last spring.
Elsewhere on the EP, a feral cover of The Kinks' "All Day And All Of The Night" highlights their love of 60s garage punk, and "C Is For Cubism" veers into more ambient, electronic territory. Along the way, the band also gets a little help from their friends in the form of two remixes of hits from Art History, with Chris Walla (Death Cab For Cutie) and Cody Votolato (The Blood Brothers) both offering their studio-as-instrument action paintings of Perennial classics.
