Just as Perfect Pussy prepares to tour Australia, the band’s guitarist Ray McAndrew has released a string of demos as MKSEARCH. Edging on neo-wave electro and experimental lo-fi, McAndrew’s side project is certainly a departure from Perfect Pussy’s much discussed noise-punk. Recorded during Perfect Pussy’s world tour last year, the MKSEARCH demos are hinged on both post-industrial and dream-pop, with ambient, synth-driven melodies, pedal-heavy guitars, and dizzying vocal collages. As McAndrew tackles a new genre, Perfect Pussy finalizes plans to press their first tape I Have Lost All Desire for Feeling to vinyl, as well jumping onto a short leg of Deerhoof’s upcoming U.S. tour.
