You can catch VERATIE’s single launch show for “Perfect Stranger” at Hollow Fest, Mansfield Tavern, Brisbane, on November 30.
Fans of Linkin Park, Evanescence, Paramore, Muse and Spirit Box are in for a treat with local heavy-hitters VERATIE releasing their second song, “Perfect Stranger”.
Guitarist and beatmaker Connor says the pop punk-rap track “illustrates a crumbling relationship, torn by miscommunication and spite.”
“Perfect Stranger” paints the soul-destroying, full-circle picture, where couples often find themselves, no longer seeking to know or understand each other, and at the point of no return.
Connor spits hip-hop verses over energetic guitar to sharply assert his point, while the incredible Sarah provides a melodic foil, cementing the track’s sense of duality and emotional division.
If you love Linkin Park‘s new female-fronted lineup, the song offers a similar composition, and marks the next step on the band’s journey towards their debut album, “IN//HUMAN”.
This concept album thematically revolves around the intersection of humanity, society, machine and
divine.
“Perfect Stranger” was recorded, mixed and produced with James See at Airlock Studios in Brisbane and mastered by Steve Smart at Studio 301 in Sydney.
VERATIE will complement the release with an official lyric video, designed and animated in-house by Connor, out on Youtube on November 18.
