On the heels of celebrating his spot at the top of nearly everyone’s Best Of 2020 lists, Perfume Genius is announcing a full-length album of Set My Heart on Fire Immediately remixes, featuring contributions from the likes of A.G. Cook, Jim-E Stacks, Planningtorock, Jenny Hval, Westerman, and Katie Dey (who’s coincidentally announced her own remix LP today—which, unfortunately, does not include a contribution from Mike Hadreas).
The record arrives February 19 via Matador, and ahead of its release we’re getting a sample of what’s to come in the form of Boy Harsher’s predictably freaky take on “Your Body Changes Everything,” along with a video directed by the duo’s Jae Matthews and starring model Teddy Quinlivan in a familiarly Mike Hadreas getup. “For the video, I wanted to create something that reflected my feelings of disconnect,” Matthews shared in a statement. “Inspired by David Cronenberg’s Videodrome and Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist, I developed this idea where a man becomes haunted by a beautiful alien—who can only access him through his television set. Long live the new flesh!”
Watch the video below.
