South African singer-songwriter and guitarist, Dan Patlansky, is set to the release his new studio album ‘Perfection Kills’ in the UK on Friday 2nd February 2018. The album is the follow up to 2016’s critically acclaimed “Introvertigo”.
To dovetail the release of the new album, Dan will embark on a UK tour in March 2018 with special guest Mollie Marriott. The tour will start at the Deaf Institute in Manchester on Thursday 15th March and include dates in Newcastle, Leek, Bristol, Sheffield and London.
‘Perfection Kills’ was recorded at Scherzo Productions, a recording studio in Dan’s home town of Pretoria, South Africa. Dan chose Scherzo because he wanted to make a different sounding record and he felt it was the right studio for his vision.
Patlansky produced the album himself, something he hadn’t done in years. Says Dan, “I learnt so much working with Theo Crous who was the producer on my previous two albums Dear Silence Thieves and Introvertigo. I worked on pre-production and song writing with Theo on a couple of the tracks for Perfection Kills and applied what I learnt to the recording and production process of the album.”
The first single from the new album is ‘Dog Day’ and you can watch the official music video for it in this article.
Dan started writing songs and recording the new album in 2016. Some of the songs were co-written and arranged with Theo Crous. “I got together with the band once I had basic ideas and messed about with them in a rehearsal space for a week,” reflects Dan. “I went back tweaked a few and then we were ready for the studio. The recording process was semi live and took two weeks to complete. All the songs on Perfection Kills were recorded and engineered by Jaco Naudé at Scherzo Productions in South-Africa, Mixed by Stefan Swart in South Africa and all tracks mastered by Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Mastering U.S.A.
