Persher live at Atonal Festival 2023 by Helge Mundt Studio
Ahead of the release of their debut album Sleep Well out Feb. 23rd, Persher (Blawan x Pariah) have shared churning new single “Medieval Soup From The Milkbar.” Taking the same subversive, exhilarating approach to extreme music as the duo’s acclaimed electronic music projects, Persher’s playful nature and wry humour is particularly palpable here. “Medieval Soup From The Milkbar” references a particularly bad mid-studio session meal of gray, gruel-like soup, which seeps into the track’s noxious slurry, stomach-churning riffs and blunt force grooves, transforming even the most mundane moments of the creative process into bracing music.
Persher’s Sleep Well provides a daring, revelatory expansion on heavy music’s myriad mutations. The duo use their production skills and wry humor to embrace the powerful release they find in extremes – managing to sidestep constrictive underground orthodoxy while equally exuding their deep shared love of heavy music. Sleep Well exudes the sheer joy of making music unconstrained by genre-boundaries, combining inimitable sound design skills honed in numerous studios and clubs with self-deprecating humor.
