“O, Su Yung,” the new single Perhapsy opens and closes in a whirlpool of guitar driven dissonance. Perhapsy is the solo project of Derek Barber who is originally from the midwest but now makes music in Oakland where he’s played guitar for people like Madeline Kenney and bands like Bells Atlas.

Perhapsy‘s latest EP The, is out on March 24th on Copper Mouth and on Wave Dweller.
