Los Angeles' Perfect Beings are gearing up for the release of their spectacular debut album Perfect Beings throughout Europe on June 30th. This band of multi-talented renowned musicians have come up with a debut album that's really something quite special, it's already garnering vast amounts of critical acclaim & getting fantastic reviews across the board in the US, hitting the No. 1 spot on the prog charts out there [or here].

2014 is going to be one hell of a year for this truly stunning band!

Perfect Beings are:

Ryan Hurtgen, vocals, piano (Rene Breton)
Johannes Luley, guitars (Moth Vellum)
Chris Tristam, bass (Marjorie Fair, Slash)
Jesse Nason, keyboards (Deccatree, am)
Dicki Flizar, drums (Bruce Dickinson, Skin)

"Whilst Perfect Beings have forged a unique sound, the heady combination of superb but not overpowering instrumentation, stunning vocals and infectious melodies will appeal not only to admirers of those mentioned above, but also fans of Moon Safari and Big Big Train. I know it's still early days but so far for me this is the album of 2014" -- DPRP

"....a perfect album deserves a perfect score. Perfectly composed, perfectly played, perfectly disturbing, perfectly awkward, perfectly beautiful" -- ExLibrisPetri - Progarchives.com (USA)

"Perfect Beings are amazing. So beautiful and majestic, brilliantly played. Even when the arrangements are challenging, I still feel connected melodically and am not taken out of the story" -- Randy Redroad - Filmaker (USA)

"This debut is beyond good" -- Ron Kraajkamp - Progstreaming.com

In November of 2012, Luley approached Hurtgen about collaborating on a progressive rock project. It was Luley's intention to create an album that honored the style and live musicality in traditional Prog rock mediums. Hurtgen, a fresh songwriter transplant to California via Nashville, TN, agreed and began writing sketches for a concept album based on author Suhail Rafidi's novel, TJ & Tosc - its themes of transformation, self-identity, technology, and love in a post-apocalyptic world were a perfect fit with themusic. Over the course of 2012 and 2013 Luley and Hurtgen composed and orchestrated the Perfect Beings Project.

With the help of drummer Dicki Fliszar, keyboardist Jesse Nason and bassist Chris Tristram, the five players began rehearsing the songs to record a live record in the same fashion as the Progressive Rock acts of the Golden Era. In April, 2013 with the help of engineer Julian David, the band recorded Perfect Beings in a span of 3 weeks at My Sonic Temple studio in Los Angeles.

The album's vision is splendid and unique. Eleven songs executed by five men. Lyrics to synthesizers with their own weather system - care to every note! Perfect Beings has spun blood, sweat, and tears into aural magic - a time bending, reality making, journey of discovery. Keep your ears on this music and the inspired musicians from whom it issues: Perfect Beings. Thank you.

Band Interests: Perfect Beings is interested in the environmental and sociopolitical landscape of our time, and our children's children.
