"A pleasant surprise."

More Perfect Pussy More Perfect Pussy




A band that makes cacophonous, bratty noise being the toast of the year? A pleasant surprise. New York noiseniks Perfect Pussy play with the hiss of a rolling four-track before channelling their inner chaos on debut record Say Yes To Love, and while the maelstrom of chugging abrasion will shear off bank vault doors, it's Meredith Graves that pushes the band into another gear. Her lyrics are self-effacing and confrontational (“And I want to eat myself/And I want to fuck myself”), yet the vicious energy becomes life-affirming to the point of revelation.
