Midnight Chats

Ep 102: Perfume Genius

Mike Hadreas is finding ways to stay sane in 2020 – whether that's asking his Twitter followers to send him photos of demonic Chihuahuas or driving out into the Joshua Tree desert to perform live at sunset and roll in the dust. Greg Cochrane dialed him up at home in L.A. with his dog Wanda to talk about the 10 years since Perfume Genius' debut album Learning, his favourite moments where his music has been used in movies and why the immersive theatre project he worked on in 2019 left him crying at passing cars. That, and some chat about his 2020 album Set My Heart On Fire Immediately.    Mentioned in the podcast...   Perfume Genius pairs Chihuahuas and songs on Twitter  <a href="https://twitter.com/perfumegenius/status/1327842938878001155?s=20">https://twitter.com/perfumegenius/status/1327842938878001155?s=20</a>   'Jason' performed in the Joshua Tree National Park <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N09-KMAGLeE">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N09-KMAGLeE</a>   The Sun Still Burns Here performance trailer <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqL9rz0AJz0">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqL9rz0AJz0</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
