Instant Gratification: Stone Temple Pilots, “Perdida”

2020 isn’t going to be just another year for Stone Temple Pilots: this Friday, the band will be releasing the first acoustic album of their career.

PERDIDA is a continuation of the musical evolution that began with the arrival of their new lead singer, Jeff Gutt, in 2017, taking the band into heretofore-unexplored territory with deeply personal songs, introspective lyrics, and instruments you wouldn’t normally expect to hear on an STP album.

You can check out the title track from the album via the Spotify link, and if you’ve missed out on the two previous tracks that the band has released to tease the album, well, you’re in luck, because “Three Wishes” and “Fare Thee Well” are both in there for your listening pleasure, too.

After listening to these new songs, we’d understand if Friday suddenly seems a lifetime away, but all we can say is that as far as the band is concerned, PERDIDA will be worth the wait, and they – and we – hope you’ll agree.
