Last month, Peter Perrett unveiled his ‘third coming’ with news of his new album The Cleansing – due November 1st. Today, Perrett is pleased to share the second single “Disinfectant” from the forthcoming record. Alongside Bobby Gillespie and Fontaines D.C.’s Carlos O’Connell who featured on first single “I Wanna Go With Dignity”, Dream Wife’s Alice Go appears on “Disinfectant” together with his trusted team of sons Jamie (guitar / production) and Peter Jr (bass) and members of his live band.
“Disinfectant” was the first track that Carlos O’Connell worked on - having met each other at a Fontaines D.C. after show, Peter bumped into him in the neighbourhood. O’Connell then visited Perrett at Pathway Studios and jammed along to “Disinfectant”. “I really liked what Carlos played,” says Perrett. “We went back into the studio, and he ended up playing on eight tracks.”
The Cleansing doesn’t only match Peter Perrett’s best work but expands it: an ambitious double album comprising 20 songs, with his uniquely narcotic and alluring melodies, gorgeous South London drawl and ravishing rock dynamic now allied to a wider span of musical arrangements and lyrical concerns. Alongside his trusted team of sons Jamie (guitar / production) and Peter Jr (bass) plus members of his live band, Perrett is assisted by a roster of starry guests including Johnny Marr, Bobby Gillespie and Fontaines DC’s Carlos O’Connell.
