This is a concept album about a teenage alien from a distant planet who witnesses his parents in a violent fight and decides to fly away from home. He breaks into his inventor father's prototype flying machine "Test Machine" and takes off into space. He tries to fly it but loses control. He crashes onto Earth somewhere in a vast desert. The first thing he sees while climbing out the machine is a huge party in the middle of the desert from a distance. At first he really enjoys watching but soon gets disenchanted. He decides to take a walk.. In his walk he observes birds and tiny insects and small lizards. He connects with them. He then decides to fix The Test Machine and he does. He climbs and starts her up. Engines are blasting. He sits there and contemplates "do you know what you are looking for and do you know what to do when you find it?"
Perhapsy’s latest—which is also available on translucent cyan vinyl—draws from shoegaze & dreampop, and tells a wrenching true story. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 1, 2018
