Perfume Genius has announced his seventh studio album ‘Glory’, set for release via Matador Records on 28th March.
He’s also shared new single ‘It’s a Mirror’, accompanied by a music video directed by Cody Critcheloe, who previously worked with Mike Hadreas on the ‘Queen’ video and has directed visuals for Robyn, Kyle Minogue, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Yves Tumor.
Speaking about the new single, Hadreas says: “I wake up overwhelmed even when nothing is going on. I spend the rest of the day trying to regulate, which I prefer to do at home alone with my thoughts. But why? They are mostly bad. They also haven’t really changed for decades. I wrote ‘It’s a Mirror’ while stuck in one of these isolating loops, seeing that something different and maybe even beautiful is out there but not quite knowing how to venture out. I have a lot more practice keeping the door closed.”
‘Glory’ sees Perfume Genius reunite with producer Blake Mills and features contributions from keyboardist and co-writer Alan Wyffels, guitarists Meg Duffy and Greg Uhlmann, drummers Tim Carr and Jim Keltner, bassist Pat Kelly, and New Zealand singer-songwriter Aldous Harding.
