Sometimes, to find yourself, you have to feel like someone else. But Ian McFarland in one of his singles even believes that this is not enough, you need to become another person. The bright, dynamic, invigorating single ‘Perfect Skin’ is proof of that.

It’s one of the successful singles by independent artist Ian McFarland, who lives by his own musical rules and has already earned respect in the punk scene. It’s no coincidence that his songs appear at the top of the most popular college radios in the US and immediately become hits in their circle.

Right from the start, you feel the punk drive, grip, and irony. The melodic verses sharply contrast with the dynamic chorus, creating feeling of slight anxiety and rather unusual enjoyment. You can become someone else and lose yourself, but is it worth it? Everyone answers that question for themselves. This mood is emphasized by the guitar work, the rich vocals, and the driving dynamic combined with a somewhat dark story, as if shaking emotions.

I think this hit is a real find for those who dissolve too much in others and do not value their own identity. The grotesque tone of ‘Perfect Skin’ makes you reconsider your values and almost rediscover yourself. I recommend this track to those who are very confused in their search for themselves, and, of course, to those who love punk songs. Also, to those who have not lost the gift of laughing at themselves and the absurdity of some thoughts and decisions.
