Asylums have released a new video for ‘A Perfect Life In A Perfect World’ which you can watch below on RAMzine. The song is track 3 of their forthcoming album Genetic Cabaret which is set for release on July 17th 2020 via the bands own label Cool Thing Records.
The lyrics written by vocalist Luke Branch were originally written about his own struggles. But given the current situation with the Covid-19 pandemic, the band realised just how relevant the song is to the many during these times and have released the track early.
“The sentiment of ‘A Perfect Life In A Perfect World’ has taken on a different meaning for me over the last month or so which has led to us deciding to release it now. Originally it was about my own struggles with low moods and not always living in the moment, thinking about how life could be all the time. Now during this period of uncertainty and profound challenge for the country and the world it feels more like a song about the future, a song about how we might want to conduct ourselves after this period of isolation and reflection. I hope very much that centres around kindness, community, creativity and compassion” – Luke Branch
Asylums will headline at The Moth Club (Hackney, London) on October 24th.
