VERATIE’S NEW RELEASE: PERFECT STRANGER
VERATIE (pronounced veh-ruh-tee) are an alt-rock / nu-metal band, based in Southeast Queensland. Formed in 2021 by lead singer-songwriter Sarah and guitarist-beatmaker Connor, VERATIE overlays evocative melodic and rap vocals over an intricate soundscape of synth, heavy guitars and relentless rhythm. They have already supported names such as The Halo Effect (Europe), Beyond the Black (Europe), Redhook, Devilskin (New Zealand), Lagerstein, Krave and more.
VERATIE are set to release their second single Perfect Stranger on the 11th of November 2024, the follow up to their debut single Ashes which has cracked over 2.5K streams on spotify. Perfect Stranger is the next step on the band’s journey towards their debut album release – IN//HUMAN. This concept album thematically revolves around the intersection of humanity, society, machine and divine.
Guitarist-beatmaker Connor describes Perfect Stranger as a “pop punk-rap track that illustrates a crumbling relationship, torn by miscommunication and spite.” Perfect Stranger depicts the deterioration of this relationship to the point that they no longer seek to know or understand each other. Connor spits hip hop verses over energetic guitar to sharply assert his point, as lead vocalist Sarah provides a melodic foil, cementing this track’s sense of duality and emotional division.
Perfect Stranger was recorded, mixed and produced with James See at Airlock Studios in Brisbane and mastered by Steve Smart at Studio 301 in Sydney.
Perfect Stranger is set to release on the 11th of November 2024 across all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Apple iTunes, YouTube Music, Amazon Music & Tidal.
