Perfume Genius returns with first new song in two years "Eye in the Wall"

"Eye in the Wall" is Perfume Genius' first new track since 2017's No Shape album.

The new offering is lifted from Perfume Genius' - real name Mike Hadreas - dance and music project The Sun Still Burns Here, which is made in collaboration with Seattle-based choreographer Kate Wallich.

Expanding on the new offering, Hadreas explains, "I think of "Eye in the Wall" as a cosmic peep show. Watching, being watched, dancers unlatched from the Matrix and truly LIVING. Creating new rituals on the other side. Whole bodies braiding, spit glowing in the dark and a camera floating just above. We spent a lot of time in the studio alternating between the math of the song and the magic of it - which was very much like the process of creating the dance itself. Working with Kate Wallich and YC, really being with my body, really being with other bodies - there is control and a real formula but a portal opened up in parallel that is completely free and overwhelmingly full of feeling."

Wallich adds of the new song, ""Eye in the Wall" is the part of the piece where we lure you in and spit you out. A tornado of body, time, space, transformation and deterioration. It’s like pulling the Death card when you already knew what needed to end."
