Modern Age Music Song of the Day: Asylums – ‘A Perfect Life In A Perfect World’
Asylums have released new single ‘A Perfect Life In A Perfect World’, taken from the band’s forthcoming third album.
It’s easy to understand why the release has enjoyed early support from Radio 1, 6 Music, Radio X, Clash and more. The song hits the listener from the outset, and over four minutes showcases a band taking their sound to the next level.
‘A Perfect Life In A Perfect World’ sits amongst Asylums best work to date, a sonic return from the Southend DIY champions.
The song also carries a message which becomes even more pertinent now. Lead singer Luke explained: “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.”
The new album ‘Genetic Cabaret’ is out on 17th July. Pre-order here: https://asylums.tmstor.es/
