Perfume Genius‘ third album Too Bright, one of our top albums of the 2010s, turns 10 today (9/23), and to celebrate he’s released a digital deluxe edition featuring three previously unheard tracks, “Story of Love,” “My Place,” and “When U Need Someone.” “These songs were written in 2013 alongside the tracks that became Too Bright,” he says. “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.”
There’s also a new crystal clear vinyl reissue of Too Bright, and Perfume Genius is in the midst of his tour playing it in full, which wraps up with Los Angeles shows at Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever on Thursday and Friday (9/26 & 9/27). See all remaining dates below.
