In 2014 he released his solo debut, The Past Perfect.

Later, they welcomed the addition of Birdie Soti on Keyboards & synths.

Perio "The shifts from minimal tones to maximum orchestration throw the balance of Medium Crash out of whack. But the strong songwriting and performances helps PERIO overcome that obstacle." -Christopher Waters (EXCLAIM!)

"Splitting the difference between the maximalist approach of Spiritualized and the smart guitar landscapes of vintage Dream Syndicate, franco-american combo PERIO cut quite an impressive swath on Medium Crash." -David Sprague (ICE)

"Medium Crash...a strange David Lynch type film that takes place in a surreal Queens dreamscape with just the right touch of Neil Young here and there to give it that extra edge. Amazing". -Stephen Tunney (aka DOGBOWL) https://www.facebook.com/periomusic/
