Indie-punks Mannequin Pussy have released a video for their new single Perfect, the title-track from their upcoming EP.
“Last year, I found myself spending more time on my phone than I ever had in my life. Physically separate from other people, I spent hours of time watching other humans perform on my rectangle. I realised that through years of social media training, many of us have grown this deep desire to manicure our lives to look as perfect, as aspirational as possible,” explains vocalist/guitarist Missy. “We want to put ourselves out there, share our lives, our stories, our day to day – and these images and videos all shout the same thing: ‘Please look at me, please tell me I’m so perfect.’ It’s simultaneously a declaration of our confidence but edged with the desperation that seeks validation from others.”
The video for Perfect was directed by Missy and references the 1997 comedy film Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.
