Perfume Genius (aka Mike Hadreas) released a new album, No Shape, last Friday via Matador. Previously he shared a video for its first single, “Slip Away,” and the audio for “Go Ahead.” Now he has shared an atmospheric and stylish video for “Die 4 You.” Floria Sigismondi directed the beautiful clip, which features Hadreas strike various poses with a chair and interact with artwork by Rosa Verloop. Watch the video below, followed by Perfume Genius’ upcoming tour dates.
No Shape is the follow-up to 2014’s acclaimed Too Bright. Blake Mills produced the album, which was recorded in Los Angeles and mixed by Shawn Everett. Weyes Blood guests on one song, “Sides.”
Hadreas had this to say about the album in a previous press release: “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.”
