SIR WINSTON unveils hypnotic new single ‘PERFECTLY NUMB’ Fuelling the indie-sleaze resurgence, a second taste of debut EP.

Sir Winston, the electronic maverick, known for his captivating blend of indie-sleaze and infectious dance beats, is back with a new single, ‘Perfectly Numb.’ The anticipated track serves as the second tantalizing preview of his forthcoming  EP, ‘Démons à Combattre,’ slated for release later this year. Building on the success of his previous single, ‘Sex in Paris,’ Sir Winston continues to captivate listeners with his unique sonic vision.

“Perfectly numb is a state of self-induced deluded reality. A moment where you’re between worlds, unable to function or react. Alone in a strange but content peace. Beyond all limits – at a point of no immediate return.” Sir Winston

Perfectly Numb envelops listeners in an electro-hazy dance-floor soundscape that evokes the spirit of 2010’s indie-sleaze peak, drawing inspiration from acclaimed acts such as LCD Soundsystem & MGMT, with a hint of darker rock elements – à la Nine Inch Nails, and the upbeat drive of classic New Order.

With this release, Sir Winston re-affirms the resurgence of the decade defining bloghaus genre propelling it into the present with a fresh and compelling perspective.

Recorded at Transmitter Studios in Brooklyn, New York, ‘Perfectly Numb’ was brought to life by Sir Winston and his longtime collaborator and fellow producer, Abe Seiferth (RAC, Car Seat Headrest, Yeasayer). 

“Everything flowed and ran like a dream making Perfectly Numb. We had found the new sound we were after. Completing it was total joy – I left the studio that day beaming. I love the arpeggiated synth riff – the track grew from that riff and the bass line. Dropping guitar solos over the track was so much fun. I’d been talking about the state of being “Perfectly Numb” with a friend the night before, and when the synth part was looping in the studio I yelled “this is making me perfectly numb” – Booooooom!” Sir Winston

Sir Winston is a prolific and diverse artist who thrives on the affinity between music and fashion. His music has been used in large-scale fashion campaigns including NIKE, VOGUE, Victoria’s Secret & Maybelline. He’s also designed and dropped several sustainable clothing collections under the name Sir Winston, culminating in a recent Pop-Up installation on the Lower East Side in Manhattan New York. His previous single ‘Sex in Paris’ garnered significant airplay on prominent radio stations such as Aussie Music Weekly, Coast FM, Joy FM, Phoenix FM, Southern FM, 2SER, 89.7FM, and 107.3FM. With ‘Perfectly Numb,’ he aims to captivate an even broader audience, taking his music to new heights.

This latest single serves to build anticipation for the release of Sir Winston’s debut EP ‘Démons à Combattre’. With his infectious energy, hypnotic melodies, and enticing lyrics, this single, like the ones before it, promises to be an electrifying addition to the electronic music landscape.
