About The Perishers

A ceiling two seconds from collapsing, lots of sloppy Doc Marten dancing, and really harsh hardcore music. Ask Ola Kluft his earliest memories of growing up in Umea, Sweden, and he'll gladly share this DIY-or-die story (or some other basement show fiasco) with a smile and a snicker. Which is quite amusing and a little confusing when you consider Kluft's current gig: singing sweetly and subtly amid the moonlit, melancholic indie pop of The Perishers.

That's the thing about The Perishers' music: tender without being sappy, and pretty without ever sounding precious, it's something we can all relate to, from daily Pitchfork readers to teen drama junkies to...Sarah McLachlan fans? That's right: After years of playing small clubs, McLachlan handpicked the band to open her 2005 North American tour -- and even guested on a rousing rendition of "Pills" every night -- upping their potential audience ten-fold and helping them to sell nearly 20,000 copies of Let There Be Morning after just 10 weeks on the road.

Don't let that fool you into thinking The Perishers became rock stars overnight. If anything, the slow-burning success of Let There Be Morning humbled them, pushing The Perishers to treat their third effort, Victorious, as a grand statement of sorts. To achieve this, the band decided to shake things up a bit and work for the first time with producer Per Sunding (The Ark, The Cardigans, Junior Senior).

Songs like "Midnight Skies" and "8am Departure" sparkle and fade like the natural flow of a life-affirming rock show. More importantly, though, is the way everything melds together perfectly, making it nearly impossible to tell what was recorded with whom and when. Standouts include the weightless drifter-in-the-dark balladry of "Carefree" and the title track, which hits the road with a battered acoustic in hand and harmonies dancing round Kluft's head, jockeying for position to get out.
