Annie Taylor Share New Single/Video "Perfect Pretender"

Swiss indie rock/alternative/psych band Annie Taylor have shared their punchy new single “Perfect Pretender“, accompanied by a music video.

The song was written on a dark and rainy day in summer. “After a drive through the pouring rain after rehearsal, I sat soaking wet in my unusually dark room and started humming this song”, remembers front singer and guitarist Gini Jungi.

Recorded in Leipzig, while the band had a few days off on their “Inner Smile” tour, the song embodies the raw energy of Amyl and the Sniffers or Garbage. Gini shares: “We had to have Chris Sheldon behind the mix. His work is incredible and he nailed the sound we wanted for this song.” The celebrated Chris Sheldon, renowned for his work with Foo Fighters, infused his signature touch into the track’s mix. The result? An electrifying rendition of “Perfect Pretender” poised to capture the attention of listeners around the world.

“Perfect Pretender” is out now through Taxi Gauche Records, grab it here.
