Perfume Genius’ New Dreamy Video, Returns to Cambridge in March

By Joe Stahl

Mike Hadreas (aka Perfume Genius) just released his new video for “Fool,” which comes off his third album Too Bright, released earlier this year. Director Charlotte Rutherford had Hadreas in golden rollerblades, accentuated by a tight pair of acid wash jeans. It’s four minutes of aesthetics that are meditative, mesmerizing, and carelessly confusing. Also featured in the video are some crow-like figures that lurk in grocery stores and abandoned warehouses behind Hadreas, wearing a white pristine jacket. He’s a beautiful queen in “Fool,” and it’s been exciting to see the shy Norwegian born artist unfurl in his best year to date.

For those who missed his Brighton Music Hall show earlier this fall, he’s coming through Cambridge for his 2015 tour at The Sinclair on Friday, March 20th. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 12th at noon.
