Jesu: Justin K Broadrick (vocals, various instruments, programming).

Audio Mixer: Justin K Broadrick.

Released in 2008, WHY ARE WE NOT PERFECT? presents three Jesu tracks originally issued on a split EP with the ambient act Eluvium during the previous year. As with the SILVER and LIFELINE EPs, PERFECT finds Jesu mastermind Justin Broadrick (formerly of Godflesh) pushing his heavy aesthetic still further into more melodic territory, with "Farewell" marked by epic synth washes and the title song carried largely by soft vocals and a lopping drum track. The aforementioned tunes are also featured in previously unissued alternate versions, making the EP essential for Jesu completists. The remaining track, "Blind and Faithless," creates a nearly symphonic sound, rounding out PERFECT, and providing yet another example of Broadrick's impressive indie-rock reinvention.
