Perfume Genius (the musical project of artist Mike Hadreas) has announced that a fourth LP is imminent as well as an upcoming tour running from May to June. A title has yet to be revealed for Hadreas’ new album, but it has been hinted the album sound will be similar to that of the artist’s 2014 release Too Bright. A press release has described the new album as “merging church music, makeout music, R&B, art pop, krautrock, and queer soul into his take on stadium anthems.”

For the singer’s 2017 tour: it will include a stop at Justin Vernon’s Eaux Claires Festival and Avant-gospel singer serpentwithfeet will open on all May dates. Perfume Genius will hit the road in Detroit in May and wrap up in San Francisco in July. Before the tour officials starts, however, Hadreas will play a one-off show in March with Weyes Blood at Texas’ Marfa Myths festival.
