Perfume Genius returns with new single "On The Floor"

"On The Floor" is the second offering from Perfume Genius' forthcoming album, after last month's lead single "Describe", and lands with a video directed by Perfume Genius, aka Mike Hadreas.

Hadreas says of the new single, "A crush can really live on its own, separate from you and the person you are pining for. The fantasy feels like its own world, obsession can turn the person you are longing for in to a monument that has less and less to do with them and more to do with the idea of love itself and what it can do, what it can soothe or quiet or light on fire. I wanted to show that maddening, solitary part of desire but keep the core which is a real warmth and belief that you have something crucial to share with each other."

Set My Heart On Fire Immediately will follow on from Perfume Genius' 2017 LP No Shape.

The new album was recorded in LA, and features contributions from Jim Keltner, Pino Palladino, Matt Chamberlin, and Rob Moose.

Hadreas says of the LP, "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. 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."
