Talentfulde Perfume Genius er tilbage med nyt album – Set My Heart On Fire Immediately er ude d. 15. maj
Mike Hadreas, der går under kunstnernavnet Perfume Genius, er i dag tilbage med annonceringen af sit femte studiealbum, Set My Heart On Fire Immediately. Det kommende album udkommer den 15. maj 2020 på Matador Records / Playground Music i Norden.
I dag deler Perfume Genius også førstesinglen ’Describe’ fra det kommende album - en sang, der indfanger følelsen af at leve i nuet. Om ’Describe’ fortæller Hadreas:
“it started as a really somber ballad. It was very minimal and very slow. And then it turned into this beast of a song. I started writing about when you are in such a dark place that you don't even remember what goodness is or what anything feels like. And so, the idea was having someone describe that to you, because you forgot or can’t get to it.” Its accompanying video, self-directed by Hadreas, envisions “an end of the world where there are no boundaries, there are no edges, no rules, or the rules are completely new with how you interact with each other and the space around you."
Singlen udkommer med en ny musikvideo, som er instrueret af Mike Hadreas selv. Den vilde, meget intense, og flotte video indeholder gæsteoptræden fra koreografen Kate Wallichs dansegruppe The YC.

På Set My Heart On Fire Immediately har Hadreas igen samarbejdet med den GRAMMY-nominerede producer Blake Mills, og albummet, der er indspillet i Los Angeles, indeholder musikalske bidrag fra Jim Keltner, Pino Palladino og Matt Chamberlin.
Set My Heart On Fire Immediately udforsker og undergraver emner som maskulinitet og traditionelle (køns)roller, og undervejs gennem albummet leger Hadreas med temaer som kærlighed, sex, hukommelse og kroppen.
"I wanted to feel more open, more free and spiritually wild," siger Hadreas, "and I'm in a place now where those feelings are very close-- but it can border on being unhinged. I wrote these songs as a way to be more patient, more considered -- to pull at all these chaotic threads hovering around me and weave them in to something warm, thoughtful and comforting."
