Perfume Genius Releases New Single 'On The Floor'
by Kaitlin Milligan - Mar 16, 2020
Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas) has shared a new single, 'On The Floor.' The track is off his forthcoming new album Set My Heart On Fire Immediately which will be released May 15 via Matador. 'On the Floor' is a celebratory Pop song that plays with the album's themes of love, sex, memory and the body, channeling popular music mythologies while irreverently authoring its own. As with the last single 'Describe,' Perfume Genius directed the video for 'On The Floor' and he notes, 'A crush can really live on its own, separate from you and the person you are pining for. The fantasy feels like its own world, obsession can turn the person you are longing for in to a monument that has less and less to do with them and more to do with the idea of love itself and what it can do, what it can soothe or quiet or light on fire. I wanted to show that maddening, solitary part of desire but keep the core which is a real warmth and belief that you have something crucial to share with each other.'

Perfume Genius Announces New Album 'Set My Heart On Fire Immediately'
by Abigail Charpentier - Feb 25, 2020
On May 15 Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas) will release his 5th studio album, Set My Heart On Fire Immediately, via Matador Records. Today, he shares the first single, “Describe,” a track that captures a sense of living in the moment through a heavy fog of grisly distortion and tumbling slide guitars. Hadreas notes, “it started as a really somber ballad. It was very minimal and very slow. And then it turned into this beast of a song. I started writing about when you are in such a dark place that you don't even remember what goodness is or what anything feels like. And so, the idea was having someone describe that to you, because you forgot or can't get to it.” Its accompanying video, self-directed by Hadreas, envisions “an end of the world where there are no boundaries, there are no edges, no rules, or the rules are completely new with how you interact with each other and the space around you.'

Tame Impala Share New Song 'Lost In Yesterday'
by Kaitlin Milligan - Jan 8, 2020
Tame Impala (Kevin Parker) will release his fourth studio album, The Slow Rush on February 14 (Interscope), and today he releases the single, “Lost In Yesterday.” “Lost In Yesterday,” is a deep dive into the addictive nature of nostalgia propelled by loopy, driving disco. An examination of time's distorting effect on memories, on “Lost In Yesterday,” Parker realizes that even the most disdainful times can take on a rosy tinge the further they recede in the rearview. Looking back can be a tough habit to break, but the track's compulsive bassline, sprinkles of electronic stardust and chorus catharsis ensure the focus is firmly on the future.
