Watch: Perfume Genius Unveils Video For ‘Dark Parts’

Watch the brand new video from Perfume Genius for ‘Dark Parts’.

To be entirely honest, the main thing we’re concerned with are the rather adorable dogs accompanying Michael Hadreas through the track.

Perfume Genius released is latest album ‘Put Your Back N 2 It’ earlier this yearn and gave DIY this insight on the theme he dealt with throughout the record: ‘It’s been weird because on the first album I made the songs and then I didn’t really think about them afterwards. And then this one, in the studio it’s like every 30 seconds of a song are played over and over again until you get it right and you almost lose whatever the message was. It’s different now that I’m performing them, but in the studio I felt that way.

And as for ‘Dark Parts’ itself? ‘One song’s about my mom, ‘Dark Parts’, and that’s the same every time I play it. I’m really proud of that one and it’s just really touching to me. She’s always asked me when I was growing up why I made such depressing music, and paintings – I used to paint really bloody. “Why can’t you paint something nice?” my mom always used to say! And so for me, writing that song was making something nice for her and still doing it how I want to do it. I’m kinda proud that I did that for the album.’
