Perera - Elsewhere

Building off the sultry electronic art-pop blueprint of her acclaimed 2013 debut 'Everlast', FoF Music's first lady Perera Elsewhere returns with her sonically adventurous, dystopian second full-length 'All Of This'. Written and recorded in Berlin, Istanbul, and Mumbai over the course of three years, 'All Of This' expands on downtempo rhythms and ornate organic/electronic instrumentation focusing on folding hypnotic, moody atmospheres into compelling song-craft traversing trip-hop, avant R&B, and experimental folk. A quiet tension haunts throughout the record's instinctual arrangements and movements. Addressing increasing distrust and confusion towards our political/economic systems, the album's smoky first single "Something's Up" delivers a warning to open our eyes. Striking a sweet spot between eerie ambience and pop intention, the single's immersive slow groove slithers alongside Perera's soulful lead.
