Perfect World is the second studio album by Australian electronic pop duo Lastlings and was announced in March and released on 23 June 2023.[3] The album became the duo's first Australian top 50 release, debuting at number 39 on the ARIA Charts.[6]

The title for the album, is inspired by how everyone has their idea of a perfect world, one where they can have whatever they want. However, as Amy Dowdle explains, life isn't perfect—she describes it as "messy", "hard" and full of "challenges".[7]

At the 2023 ARIA Music Awards, the album was nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Release.[8]

At the 2023 J Awards, the album was nominated for Australian Album of the Year.[9]

Critical reception[edit]

Forbes said "The 12-track body of work epitomises art, tradition and determination. The transcendent LP takes audiophiles through enchanting vocals, celestial sounds, classical piano, cinematic beats and dreamy melodies, staying true to Lastlings' philosophy when making music as it strives to create escapist moments that allow listeners to delve into another dimension and use their imagination."[7]

Triple J said "Siblings Amy and Josh have delivered a deeply personal record filled to the brim with hypnotic, euphoric and dance floor ready electro anthems."[10]
