Perfect World is the music project of LA-based songwriter and filmmaker Nathan Castiel. Though grounded in confessional indie rock, his music is hard to pin down - often bouncing between genres and sonic palettes without regard for current trends. His songs are heartfelt, darkly funny and introspective with a pop sensibility and shapeshifting nature. Some of his influences include Arthur Russell, Brian Eno, Elliott Smith, and Prefab Sprout. A multi-disciplinary artist with a DIY spirit, he writes, performs and produces his own music as well as creative directs the project and makes all cover art and visuals.
