Perfume Genius – the persona of Mike Hadreas – has announced his new album, Glory, alongside the release of first single, "It’s a Mirror".

"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," Perfume Genius says.

On his new album Glory, Perfume Genius re-teams with long-time producer Blake Mills and keyboardist and co-writer Alan Wyffels along with an incredible group of musicians who have played previously with Hadreas on the road and in the studio including guitarists Meg Duffy (Hand Habits) and Greg Uhlmann, drummers Tim Carr and Jim Keltner, and bassist Pat Kelly, as well as a special appearance from New Zealand singer-songwriter Aldous Harding.

The album follows Set My Heart On Fire Immediately, which was produced by GRAMMY winner Blake Mills, and featured contributions from Phoebe Bridgers, Jim Keltner, Pino Palladino, Matt Chamberlin, Rob Moose, and longtime collaborator Alan Wyffels. The release included a 30-minute film, Pygmalion’s Ugly Season, created with renowned visual artist Jacolby Satterwhite, blending surreal visuals with Hadreas’ music.

  1. It’s a Mirror
  2. No Front Teeth (feat. Aldous Harding)
