Perfume Genius Unveils Single And Tour Details

Perfume Genius will release his new single, ‘Take Me Home’, on September 24 this year. He has also announced a headline UK tour – his biggest yet – which is sure to sell out.

2012 has seen Perfume Genius, aka Seattle native Mike Hadreas, go steadily from strength to strength. His sophomore album, the gorgeous ‘Put Your Back N2 It’, saw him earn his biggest raves to date on both sides of the pond.

Now Perfume Genius is releasing his third single ‘Take Me Home’ – a jewel of a song whose upbeat, majestic pop sheen masks an unnerving undertow of emotional oblivion and desperation, as he says he will be “like a shadow of a shadow of a shadow…for you”.

To support the single, he will also be returning to the UK and Europe to play his biggest shows yet. Having recently supported the likes of The XX and Sigur Ros, Perfume Genius will now play select dates with Grizzly Bear in August, as well as a string of festivals and headline dates in the UK, including London’s Union Chapel, on September 6.
