Parisian indie rockers, PÆRISH have released their new single, “Still There”, taken from their upcoming album, You’re in both dreams (and you’re scared), out August 18, 2023 via SideOneDummy Records. Marking the final new song to be released before the album is out in its entirety, “Still There” is accompanied by a music video, which finds the band throwing a summer house party, all caught on an old school camcorder. Watch it now below.
The band explains, “There’s a such a summer vibe to this song, which is why we decided to make the video reflect that. It was the last song written before going to the US to record with Will, so we went all out.”
“Still There” follows “The Luck You Had”, “Daydreaming” and “Houses Of American Style”, which both can be found on ‘You’re in both dreams (and you’re scared)’.
The title of the album can be found in David Lynch’s classic 2001 film ‘Mulholland Drive’. It’s a line spoken by one of the two men having a conversation in that movie’s incongruous diner scene. PÆRISH vocalist/guitarist Mathias Court was watching the movie for maybe the tenth time last year, and that line stood out to him like it never had before, because it resonated exactly with how he was feeling.
“It really made me think about how my life was divided into two things,” he explains. “I was trying to live for the music, but at the same time have a good job, and ended up burning out. I was having a very rough year, and watching that scene really made me think about how my life was divided, and I was struck by that line because it really felt that that’s what was going on in my life. So watching the movie again kind of decided the name of the album for me.”
Today, the band also announced an upcoming run of European and UK tour dates. A full list of cities can be found below. Tickets are on sale now.
