Watch: Perfume Genius Live At TAS Performing "Hood"

Mike Hadreas, the emotionally candid singer and songwriter better known as Perfume Genius, recently visited The Alternate Side's Studio A in advance of the release of his second album, Put Your Back N 2 It, due out on February 21 on Matador Records.

The Seattle-based Hadreas' hushed and handsome new album, which he feels is slightly more hopeful than his shattering debut, 2010's Learning,  is streaming in its entirety on Spin this week. Hadreas launches a North American tour on March 21 in San Francisco and wends his way back to New York on April 3, to play Mercury Lounge, and April 5, for a gig at Glasslands.

Below, watch the exclusive TAS In Session performance of his new song, "Hood," and check back on Monday, March 5 for the full session on The Alternate Side. The interview will also air on TAS on 91.5 WNYE on Friday, March 9 at 11 a.m. ET.
