Indie pop singer Perfume Genius announces his new album UGLY SEASON. The album follows SET MY HEART ON FIRE IMMEDIATELY, released in 2020, and accompanies his dance piece “The Sun Still Burns Here” with choreographer Kate Wallich.
The album is scheduled for release in June and will include the previously released singles “Pop Song” and “Eye in the Wall”. Coinciding with the album’s release, the singer, whose real name is Michael Hadras, is also collaborating with visual artist Jacolby Satterwhite on a short film featuring the music of UGLY SEASON.
“This project is the beginning of a whole new direction I’m taking, one I’ve been thinking about within this endemic culture since 2020,” Satterwhite said in a statement. “Mike and I both write screenplays. Fortunately, my visual narrative reflects the lyrical direction in his music; It’s a rare, like-minded bond. It’s a creation myth. How does one architecturally sculpt and render an idealized version of utopia? It’s about creating something you want so badly that it’s hard to put into concrete form.”
Perfume Genius is currently in the midst of his North American tour, which will conclude on April 7th with a show at the Beacon Theater in New York City. UGLY SEASON will be released on June 17th.
