Perfect 100, the up and coming Brooklyn-based band led by songwriter Andrew Madore, are back with a new single “Around My Finger” out today via bloody knuckles.
Madore discussed the new song saying: “I wrote this song in a moment where I was paralyzed with the anxiety of losing time and couldn’t really get anything done. I couldn’t respond to my friends, I couldn’t leave the house, I couldn’t think about my life without being hyper-aware of all the wasted time leading up to that moment. I just thought if I could pause time, if I could have it wrap around my finger and hold it in my hand, so many of my fears and anxieties would go away and I could work out my life.”
The new track follows Perfect 100’s self-titled debut EP and leans into Madore’s undeniable way with melody, throwing hook after hook on top of blown out guitars, making for a fittingly perfect cut of loud guitar pop. “Around My Finger” was mostly recorded by Madore at home in his apartment, with drums performed by Will Hirst and tracked by by Justin Pizzoferrato (Dinosaur Jr, Parquet Courts, Pixies) who then mixed and mastered the track.
