PERFECT STORM - STAIRS

Perfect Storm is a dynamic and adventurous Dutch rock band founded in Groningen (NL). They will release the highly anticipated follow-up album to the debut "No Air", entitled "Stairs" on 14 November 2024.

Where one moment it’s like a soft breeze in your ear, another moment it’s like a devastating tornado testing your eardrums. Perfect Storm is influenced by sounds from all wind directions. With smashing guitar riffs, driving drums, tight bass lines, velvet voices, and enchanting piano parts, this project brings the musical landscape an irresistible whirlwind from high and low-pressure areas.

The boundless, melodic, and at times virtuoso rock music of Perfect Storm is mainly the result of the vision of guitarist and songwriter Gert-Jan Schurer. Drawing from his own experiences and a broad range of sounds, he has created a unique blend that incorporates influences from rock acts like Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson, jazz legends like Pat Metheny, film composers such as Hans Zimmer, and electronic pioneers in the vein of Aphex Twin.

Perfect Storm prefers melody to musical showmanship but does not shy away from compelling instrumental passages or impressive solos. Catchy melodies and a striking energetic attitude make their dynamic music accessible above average. The dualistic vocals between male and female (à la modern Anathema) create a lot of atmosphere, a key element within this group.

The new album "Stairs" will be released on compact disc (via Glassville Records), vinyl LP (via FREIA Music) and on all major digital platforms. A strictly limited edition boxset including both the CD and LP plus a testpressing and artprint is exclusively available from this webstore.
