On May 5th, Mike Hadreas’ aka Perfume Genius returns with a new album called “No Shape”. The album is Hadreas’ first since Too Bright in 2014. The album’s announcement was accompanied by the release of a music video for the first single, “Slip Away”.
Mike Hadreas’ said of his new album:
I pay my rent. I’m approaching health. The things that are bothering me personally now are less clear, more confusing. I don’t think I really figured them out with these songs. There’s something freeing about how I don’t have it figured out. Unpacking little morsels, magnifying my discomfort, wading through buried harm, laughing at or digging in to the embarrassing drama of it all. I may never come out the other side but it’s invigorating to try and hopefully, ultimately helpful. I think a lot of them are about trying to be happy in the face of whatever bullshit I created for myself or how horrible everything and everyone is.
