Not content to have released one of 2020’s best albums in Set My Heart on Fire Immediately, Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas) has announced Immediately Remixes, a full-length rework of his acclaimed fifth album, out Feb. 19 on Matador.
The companion album features the LP’s original sequencing, with remixes courtesy of an impressive cast: Jaakko Eino Kaleivi, A. G. Cook, Jim-E Stack, Planningtorock, Jenny Hval, Initial Talk, Boy Harsher, Nídia, Danny L Harle, Westerman, Actress, Koreless and Katie Dey each contribute, in that order.
“I’m very honored to have all these incredible musicians rework these songs,” says Hadreas in a statement. “I felt personally remixed listening to their versions, hearing the spirit of my song completely transformed was very magical. Each one feels like a little portal to a fucked up shared world.”
Our first taste of Immediately Remixes is also out today (Jan. 14) in the form of electronic duo Boy Harsher’s version of “Your Body Changes Everything,” which is accompanied by a Poltergeist-inspired video, directed by Boy Harsher vocalist Jae Matthews and Caitlin Driscoll, and starring model Teddy Quinlivan and Brandon Gray.
