Perfume Genius shares ‘Thing’ from recent album recordings
Mike Hadreas has offered up a bonus track ahead of his upcoming European tour.
Ahead of his upcoming European tour, Perfume Genius has shared a bonus track titled ‘Thing’, as taken from the recording sessions of his latest album ‘Too Bright’.
A biting and ominous cut, Mike Hadreas softly questions his subject amongst an atmosphere of baleful keys that build into a murky industrial crescendo. “When we gonna do this thing, bitch?” asks Hadreas at his most sinister and sensual, as a car pulls up to the side allowing the lyrical scene to unfold further.
