Background

Perfect Enemy was sporadically written over the last three years and recorded throughout September 2015.[1] In an interview with magazine Teal Cheese, Pearson revealed that he recorded six songs with producer Kris Crummett in Portland, Oregon, tracked one song in Malibu, California, and worked with producer Matt Malpass in Atlanta, Georgia. The tracks on the album were mixed and mastered throughout various studios in Los Angeles.[1] When asked how Pearson wanted the album's sound to be, he answered:

I wanted this album to sound more organic, so we used a lot more real instruments as opposed to synths and samples. There's a rock song, a couple uptempo folk and pop songs and a good amount of songs with more space.

The album is composed of twelve tracks. Three of the tracks–"Heartfelt", "Alive", and "Future Friends"–were previously released on Pearson's EP, Future Friends, in December 2014.[4]
