Artist News Releases
Perfume Genius announces new album
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 22 March 2017
Perfume Genius has announced that he will release a new album, ‘No Shape’, on 5 May through Matador Records.
Speaking about the new record, the musician says: “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”.
However, he continues: “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”.
Here’s the video for first single, ‘Slip Away’:
