Australian artist and producer Perto's "dead on" is a rollercoaster that takes you on a bursting journey with unpredictability and infectious energy from the very start of its opening keys to Perto's glitchy vocals across its nearly 3-minute runtime.
Across this song, you're getting Perto at his best: spreading breezy vocals across the song's landscape, whilst colliding with video game-style squeals and bleeps, creating a landscape that's as surprisingly addictive as its predecessor "gore". Lyrics like "What a surprise, there’s a hole in my temple" and the chant "I can’t front, I can’t lie, you took my head off" showcase Perto's ability to mix storytelling into a bonkers instrumentals that jump across genres.
Coming off the release of his debut record, due out in the first week on December, "dead on" is a catchy anthem that showcases Perto's varied style and fearless approach to music production through orchestral overlays of vocals, familiar underlying drum beats, and a frenetic black-and-white visual experience that he actually edited himself to showcase its visual representation.
