Perfume Genius announces new album ‘Too Bright’, streams ‘Queen’

Mike Hadreas aka. Perfume Genius has announced details of his new, third album, ‘Too Bright’.

Out 22nd September on Turnstile, the new album is led by ‘Queen’; a crazed, outpouring of noise that departs from the striking balladry of 2012 LP ‘Put Your Back N 2 It.’. This lead track is almost proggy, linking together bellowed-out vocals with sky-reaching synths.

The record features PJ Harvey collaborated John Parish, and it was recorded with Portishead’s Adrian Utley.
