Too Bright

On September 23, 2014, Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas) released his third album, Too Bright, via Matador Records. The LP marked a significant departure from his earlier work, with its bold, avant-garde sound and introspective lyrics, earning him worldwide recognition and critical acclaim. To commemorate the 10-year milestone, Perfume Genius today releases a digital deluxe edition of the album, featuring three previously unheard era-appropriate songs ‘Story Of Love’, ‘My Place’ and ‘When U Need Someone Here’. Recorded during the Too Bright sessions, Hadreas says of the tracks “These songs were written in 2013 alongside the tracks that became Too Bright. I was reminded of them while sifting through demos from that time, reflecting on this anniversary. I’m really glad they have a place to live now. We took them to the studio last month and opened a portal with our insane band, somehow able to channel the very specific spirit of that record. It reminded me how formative and wild that time was, how much I still call on that energy and how grateful I am for the people I work with and whoever is listening.”
