Perfume Genius’ new album is produced by Blake Mills and features musicians Jim Keltner, Pino Palladino, Matt Chamberlin, and Rob Moose. He recorded it in Los Angeles with longtime collaborator Alan Wyffels. “I wanted to feel more open, more free and spiritually wild, and I’m in a place now where those feelings are very close—but it can border on being unhinged,” Hadreas said in a statement. “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.”

Perfume Genius is touring with Tame Impala this summer. Find the dates here and find tickets here.

Last year, Hadreas teamed up with Seattle-based choreographer Kate Wallich and the YC dance company for their collaborative dance piece The Sun Still Burns Here. Read “Perfume Genius Becomes a Dancer and Brings His Slippery Universe to Life” over on the Pitch.
