The Veronicas have laid out plans for their sixth studio album.
The follow-up to 2021's 'Human' is called 'Gothic Summer' and will arrive in early 2024, though a release date is still to be confirmed. The Australian alt-pop duo, Jessica and Lisa Origliasso, worked on the record with John Feldmann, co-producer Ryan Linville and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, who plays on the album.
It's previewed by their new single Perfect, which treads the line between bratty pop and fuzzy guitar-fuelled punk — for fans of the riotous pop-rock sound of Olivia Rodrigo, P!nk and Avril Lavigne. The pair said:
"Perfect is a love letter to our younger and current selves. Perfection has a different meaning for everyone. Social media has changed how we interact with the world. Perception versus reality is rewarded and condemned. From what people wear, to who they date.
"It's like a magnifying glass. We just want to remind everyone to empower themselves, and free their minds. We all die in the end; we have to live with and love ourselves fiercely first and foremost. On our deathbeds the only opinion that will matter on how you've lived will be your own."
