On June 7th, Peter Perrett will release his new album Humanworld - his second record in as many years since signing to Domino. Today, Peter shares a third track from the album, "Heavenly Day," and kicks off a string of dates in the UK and Europe.

Reflecting on his history, Peter explains, "There used to be a part of me, maybe still is, that doesn't give a fuck about anything; hence my escapist nature. But having children has changed that. Hence the name of the album. You have to look for the good in the world. A romantic belief perhaps."
On Humanworld, that optimistic streak is most prevalent on "Heavenly Day." Elsewhere on the album, Peter continues to dissect romance and politics with his trademark sense of sardonic wit and wry humor, if not with even more vigor and a palpable sense of immediacy. His previously released single "Once Is Enough" received praise from NPR as "an effortless gem whose only sin, at about two and a half minutes, is being over too soon."

Following the years of possibly having too much fun, Peter Perrett is in the process of rebuilding himself, his family, and his art. Working with his sons and fronting another great band (Peter is the former frontman and guitarist of The Only Ones), he's firmly back on track.
Peter Perrett will tour Europe and the UK in the coming weeks. His band includes his guitar and bass playing sons Jamie and Peter Jr, drummer Jake Woodward, Jenny Maxwell (Microkorg synthesiser, viola, BVs) and Lauren Moon (keys, drums, BVs). Tickets can be purchased here.
