Perfume Genius: ‘Grid’

Perfume Genius just released a music video for ‘Grid’, off his upcoming album ‘Too Bright’.

So far, the singles released from ‘Too Bright’ have been quite a departure from the primarily piano-driven, tear-jerking and hauntingly pretty songwriting of his previous albums. I, for one, am immensely enjoying the ride.

‘Too Bright’ drops on the 22nd.

I might be a bit late to the party … but sweet baby Jesus, the new Aphex Twin track is droolworthy.

It’s the first song to be released by Aphex Twin in well over a decade and bodes well for his upcoming album ‘Syro’.

‘Syro’ will drop on the 23rd and feature some pretty awesome artwork.

Perfume Genius: ‘Queen’

“Sometimes I see faces of blank fear when I walk by. If these fucking people want to give me some power — if they see me as some sea witch with penis tentacles that are always prodding and poking and seeking to convert the muggles — well, here she comes.” — July 15th, 2014
