Lastlings have announced the follow up to their much loved debut album First Contact. Their second album Perfect World is out everywhere June 23rd 2023 on Liberation Records and Rose Avenue Records.   On Perfect World: Perfect World is a journey into adulthood. This record is a diary. These stories represent our early 20s. It is a journey to finding independence. It’s probably the most vulnerable music we have ever made. We want this album to let people know that they aren’t alone and that they don’t need to rush in life, to take things slow. It is a reminder that you will be okay being on your own and that the next time you say something to yourself along the lines of “In a Perfect World”, to think of the positives in our lives.   The announce arrives via an album trailer shot in Death Valley last year and a fresh new single Noise: “Noise is about reminiscing on an old relationship. The good memories. Talking late at night. Going to raves together. Dancing. All the arguing and making up. All the… Noise.”   Currently based in Melbourne, the Japanese-Australian siblings found inspiration for their new works in the studio on the Gold Coast.   Their 2020 debut First Contact continues to be well-loved around the world. An album where the duo looked to Tokyo and its surroundings, taking inspiration from their heritage and the country’s futuristic charm. This time, they build on this curiosity and move towards the unknown. Expect sweeping soundscapes felt within your chest, expressed through a visually surreal palette.   Since First Contact, Lastlings have taken their music to the world. Completing their debut, sold-out run of Australia, and North America, plus a unique stop at Sundream in Mexico, playing beachside sets with their label heads RÜFÜS DU SOL. Lastlings recently completed an LA weekender for 88rising’s Head In The Clouds event. Lastlings’ live shows grow more complex with hauntingly beautiful visual elements to complement their sound.   Perfect World is an ambitious work combining sound, art and reflection. It’s an auspicious first glimpse into a universe, built by Amy and Josh Dowdle, and a promise of what’s yet to come.
