Info for Memos

After successful debut EP ‘Everlast’, two sold-out headline shows in London and 4 international headline and support tours, Matt Perriment returns with brand new ‘Memos’ EP, out via V2 Records. With support from BBC Introducing, Spotify editorial, and placement in various singer-songwriter charts, Perriment lives up to expectations with this new piece of work.

‘Memo’s’ first two singles ‘Oceans’ and ‘Promise’ introduced an expansion of Perriment’s signature sound. The soundscape is bigger, with haunting keys, textured strings, flavours of ambient electric guitar, and vocal delivery that strikes with undeniable sincerity. Perriment explains that the EP ‘is an open snapshot of the key moments of my life for the last two years, a collection of unique memos that helped me through the tribulations of love, loss, mental health and wanting to escape from London for a while.’ Produced by Katie Earl, ‘Memos’ captures atmosphere and emotion with sophistication and nuance.

Third single ‘Distance’ explores the distortion of memory that occurs in the temporal space between a past relationship and the present. The lyrics express the difficulty of coming to terms with the change in someone you used to know and having to negotiate your idealised vision of them with the new reality that’s facing you. Musically, the instrumental matches this melancholy sentiment with stirring strings and finger-picked guitars that move in unison with Perriment’s expressive vocal.

The EP’s closing track, ‘Masks’ is a tender account of realising a loved one is struggling on their own, behind the vision of themselves they actively portray to the world. With only a gentle guitar to accompany his stunning voice, Perriment is at his best in delivering genuinely affecting writing.

"The instrumental matches the melancholy sentiment with stirring strings and finger-picked guitars that move in unison with Perriment’s expressive vocal – the standout feature of the entire EP" (It’s All Indie)

"Fresh and authentic in a musical climate that often favours jam-packed production over sincerity and humility" (Impose Magazine)
