Undergoing a number of lineup changes to solidify the best group of people to play these songs over the past few months, the band began playing with their current vocalist, Trish Zulueta, in July 2019. Since then, \u00a0the project has really taken off since she came on board. Sokoloff and Zulueta are the chief songwriters and producers for the band but the sound is filled out drastically by keyboardist Joe Drezmiecki, guitarists Austin Fite and Noah Petrillo, and Percussionist Anthony Martins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bonding over a &nbsp;mutual love of both the alternative acts of the 90\u2019s and 2000\u2019s like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Mazzy Star, and Of Montreal; as well as the more modern experimental pop music from artists like SOPHIE, Charli XCX, and Grimes, Sokoloff and Zulueta grew to write more intense music, &nbsp;drawing from acts like Rammstein and Smashing Pumpkins while still retaining their love of sound exploration and a general disregard for genre. &nbsp;The album was recorded and mixed by Sokoloff at their studio, Abbey Cat Recordings with the only outside recording coming from additional production and recording done by Zulueta and Drezmiecki on their own.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Alternative indie band,\u00a0Perfect Blue, announce their new single,\u00a0Runnin&#8217; From the Hills, which is lifted\u00a0from their forthcoming album.
