British-Danish synth/dark pop duo Perpacity will release on 28th August as a physical and on 1st of October as digital edition via ScentAir Records their new album entitled Conflagration. Always experimenting with new sounds and directions, Perpacity's upcoming album, Conflagration, raises the bar yet again over their previous work. Whilst they can be described broadly as producing catchy electronica, this is much more - a heady mix of all-out driving pop and dark ballads that push at the boundaries of the genre in every direction, all delivered in their own unique way.
The duo are no strangers to odd things; before making music together they wrote several books for performers of a mix of psychological manipulation and hypnosis called 'mentalism', the kind of thing done by the UK's Derren Brown, and David Blaine from the US. Martin Nyrup originally began writing music for computer games in the 80s, and Ian Harling had played in live bands for many years and also wrote music; but it wasn't until they'd been working together as authors for eight years that Harling offered to try and sing to one of Martin's tracks - and the duo was born. Now on their fourth album together, they are already working on a fifth and other independent projects.
Martin Nyrup comments: "Creating an album isn't just about writing music nowadays, you have to be able to do for yourself a lot of the things that record companies can no longer afford to do for you. It means we have to think about things like promotion, artwork and videos - and even once an album is done and released there's still a lot of work to do, so you get little time to stop. I'm always excited at the prospect of starting a new album though and getting another chance to try extend ourselves musically. We're still learning and always will be, but that in itself is one of the pleasures of doing it."
The cover for the album is a black and white portrait of Martin Nyrup's cousin, Signe, taken by Daniel Samanns, a professional 'wet-plate' photographer from Germany. The 'wet plate process' was invented about 1850, and although it requires subjects to sit completely still for a protracted length of time, it gives a kind of realism and a haunting quality that you don't get, even in today's high-res' pictures. It makes her portrait eerily beautiful.
