Perlee - Slow Creature (2020)

'When I saw them, I heard traces of Mazzy Star and Low — if this was dream-pop, it had been weathered through the world-weariness of slowcore….'– Ryan Leas, Stereogum.

Slow Creature marks Perlee's first body of work. The songs dig deep into the reality of our ever-present emotional lives. Conditions to Thrive, Chain of Coral, Charlie's Song and Feelings of Plenty; connection, pain, longing and gratitude. The bones of this E.P. were recorded to tape at Analogue Catalogue studios in Newry early 2019 with renowned engineer Julie McLarnon (Lankum, The Vaselines). Perlee met Julie at a Dublin gig in 2018. She invited them to her studio and straight away it was a good fit. They recorded several tracks to tape and these releases are the fruits of that week.

Stereogum had this to say of Perlee's first single off the EP, 'Chain of Coral': 'The duo’s melody weaves in and out of focus initially, like tips of flames moving in unpredictable yet still natural arcs. The song becomes entrancing...drawing you in with one flare, one faded hook, before encouraging you to get lost in its currents. It’s a sighing, beautiful composition.'
