Indie rock band monopolice released their new track “Perfume.” The track is a slow, sad alternative rock ballad that is nostalgic for the sound of the early 2000s. It is the band’s second track, following their May release of “A Fine Day for a Swim.”

According to primary songwriter Miguel Lim, the inspiration for “Perfume” came from a phrase he heard from Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) many years ago, “people are place and places are people”, which resonated with him at the end of a past relationship. The will to write about the experience, however, didn’t occur until much later. “I was no longer bitter,” reflects Lim. “I’d be in some grocery aisle across a lady wearing familiar perfume but it would no longer bother me.”

While “Perfume” went through the band’s normal process of breaking apart a song idea and putting it all back together in a “monopolice way”, everyone agreed that the song would be ultimately released in the demo form that Lim had originally recorded it in and so it was.
