The Perceptionists (Mr Lif & Akrobatik) release new music in ‘Bait’ and announce new project.

The Perceptionists returned last year with their first new group album (Resolution) in years.  The official release led to a tour and an NPR “Tiny Desk Concert” performance with a live band.

But for 2018, they wanted to revisit Resolution and rough the edges up.  Enter Paten Locke.  Paten had produced a pair of tracks on the original record that were fan favorites, so he seemed like a natural choice to rework 7 of the albums best tracks.  On top of that, Paten, Mr. Lif and Akrobatik created an entirely fresh joint titled “Bait.”  The result is Low Resolution an 8 track long record that brings Resolution into a completely different light.

Today, Deadendhiphop exclusively premiered The Perceptionists new studio track, “Bait,” as Lif & Ak officially announced the new project.

“In the music business, any time you find highly productive people you can trust, you’ve found gold” Mr. Lif exclaimed.  In this case, we really lucked out because Paten Locke is family to us. And oh yeah, he’s one of the best. Stop sleeping!! “Bait” signifies a return to the level of filth where we feel most comfortable.

“Low Resolution” will be released on August 10.
