2010–2014: Early years 
The formation of Paerish dates back to 2010 when the band members met in school in Paris. Members Court, Dupraz (bass) and Louvion (drums) – would first meet and form as a trio five years ago in a Paris film school, where Court and Dupraz were studying film production and Louvion sound engineering. The band adopted the name Paerish, which was based on the character Alan Parrish in Jumanji. 2015–2018: Semi Finalists 
In 2015, the band began writing and recording music for their first full-length studio album. On 20 July 2015, Paerish released "Undone", the lead single off their debut album, Semi Finalists. The band's second single off the album, "Then People Forget" came out on 19 November 2015. Semi Finalists was officially released on December 2, 2016, Paerish then toured Europe relentlessly between 2016 and 2018 with Silversun Pickups, Sum41, Movements and Moose blood. 2019–2023: Fixed It All 
In 2019, after being independent of a record label, Paerish signed a contract with SideOneDummy Records ahead of their second studio album, originally anticipating for a released in 2020. The band announced that producer Will Yip would produce their second album, Fixed It All and in August 2020, the self-titled single was released. In an interview with Brooklyn Vegan, Court shared how the album would be more shoegazing-inspired than previous works. Court explained that the album was " much darker, heavier than what we've made in the past both sonically and lyrically. It's about the depression I felt losing one of my best friends and questioning the decisions in my life." Although writing and recording for the album was complete in late 2019 and were aiming for an early 2020 released, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, delayed the process of release of the album in 2021. Fixed It All was eventually released through SideOneDummy on 23 April 2021. They released two b-sides "Boy" and "Stick to Silence" in 2022. While working on new material, Julien Louvion decided to leave the band and drummer Loic Fouquet who had long been a friend officially joined Paerish in the end of 2022. The band then flew back to Philadelphia to record their third LP with Will Yip. 2023–present: You're In Both Dreams (And You're Scared) 
Released by  SideOneDummy Records and produced by Will Yip, this 10 track album was released August 18, 2023. The title of the album is taken from a portion of dialogue between two characters in the 2001 movie Mulholland Drive. Discography
