Perfume Genius

In 2020, his tenth year of releasing music, Perfume Genius, a.k.a. Los Angeles artist Mike Hadreas, released Set My Heart On Fire Immediately, his resplendent, triumphant fifth album. Featuring earthy, danceable pop music as well as his closest skirmishes yet with more experimental, ambient sounds, it was Hadreas’s most embodied, most powerful piece of work yet. This year saw the launch of the Perfume Genius Substack newsletter, an outlet for all of Hadreas’s art that he hasn’t shared over the past few years, from old demos to paintings to Supernatural vore fan fiction. Last week he caught up with The FADER’s Shaad D’Souza to discuss his Substack, Set My Heart On Fire Immediately, and his music for the 2019 dance piece The Sun Still Burns Here.  Learn more about your ad choices.
