Perfume Genius (aka Mike Hadreas) released a new album, No Shape, back in May via Matador. Last night he stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to perform two songs from it: “Wreath” and “Just Like Love.” Watch videos of both below.

Previously he shared a video for its first single, “Slip Away,” the audio for “Go Ahead,” and a video for “Die 4 You.” 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.”
