    Song from the album: Burn It Down
    by Cheap Perfume
    released December 6, 2019

    “Burn It Down” is the highly anticipated follow-up to Cheap Perfume’s first full-length album, “Nailed It.” “Burn It Down” includes poppy songs bookended by darker, heavier tracks. “Put the Devil to Bed” is a screamy opening song about surviving sex assault. The song has been performed at Cheap Perfume shows for years, but never before recorded. It issues a call to burn down the social institutions and paradigms that enable the repression, objectification and vilification of womxn — and the resulting violence against them. The brand-new song “Time’s Up” sends a clear message to men about whose responsibility it should be to stop rape and sexism: “It’s not on women to avoid the violence of rape culture/It’s up to men to tell their friends that we deserve better than this/No no, not our responsibility.”

    In addition to confronting those pressing and serious topics, the album has plenty of Cheap Perfume’s trademark cheeky humor — evident in the catchy pop-punk number “Fauxminism” and a new recording of the anti-fascist anthem “It’s Okay (to Punch Nazis),” which was released as a single in 2017.

    Cheap Perfume released "Burn It Down" on Snappy Little Numbers Fine Audio Recordings on Dec. 6, 2019.

    Recorded and mastered at Black in Bluhm Music with Chris Fogal, 2019
