Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas) has announced his new album, Glory, coming out March 28th on long-time label home Matador Records. Glory was produced by Blake Mills and marks the 7th studio album in his immaculate body of work. Today, Hadreas shares the first single, ‘It’s a Mirror’, and its companion music video directed by Cody Critcheloe. Watch HERE.

The two artists first collaborated on the music video for Perfume Genius’ groundbreaking ‘Queen’, and Critchloe has also directed videos for artists such as Robyn, Kyle Minoque, Yeah Yeah Yeah’s, Yves Tumor and more.

Speaking on ‘It’s A Mirror’, Hadreas says, "I wake up overwhelmed even when nothing is going on. I spend the rest of the day trying to regulate, which I prefer to do at home alone with my thoughts. But why? They are mostly bad. They also haven't really changed for decades. I wrote "It's a Mirror" while stuck in one of these isolating loops, seeing that something different and maybe even beautiful is out there but not quite knowing how to venture out. I have a lot more practice keeping the door closed."

On his new album Glory, Perfume Genius re-teams with long-time producer Blake Mills and keyboardist and co-writer Alan Wyffels along with an incredible group of musicians who have played previously with Hadreas on the road and in the studio including guitarists Meg Duffy (Hand Habits) and Greg Uhlmann, drummers Tim Carr and Jim Keltner, and bassist Pat Kelly, as well as a special appearance from New Zealand singer-songwriter Aldous Harding.

After approaching writing as an insular practice for much of his career, in the process of making Glory, Hadreas welcomed more collaboration from the musicians working on the project. The result is a more wiry and driving musical underbed to Hadreas’ stories. The album contains themes that he’s wrestled with artistically throughout his career -  the body and its decay, of domesticity and love, and of inescapable history and damage. There is also a return of some of his characters, including Jason. But Glory is written from a new vantage point - on the other side of struggle, where one is left to contend with all that has happened, but also has to learn to live in a still and uncharted place.

Perfume Genius has also announced an extensive North American tour in support of the album. The shows kick off in Healdsburg at Little Saint on May 12th and wrap up on June 27th at Revolution Hall in Portland, OR. Highlights include The Fillmore in San Francisco on May 13th, the Brooklyn Paramount on June 10th and the Showbox in Hadreas’ hometown of Seattle on June 26th. The artist pre-sale begins tomorrow, Thursday, January 16th at 10AM local time and the public on-sale takes place this Friday, January 17th at 10AM local.
