Perfume Genius has just dropped the music video for his single “Slip Away,” a new track off his upcoming album No Shape. His latest work is slated to release May 5 via Matador.

In a statement, the man behind Perfume Genius, Mike Hadreas, says of the album, “The things that are bothering me personally now are less clear, more confusing. I don’t think I really figured them out with these songs.”
The confusion Hadreas speaks of is visible in the music video for “Slip Away,” which was directed by Andrew Thomas Huang. Set in what appears to be Victorian fashion, the clip features Hadreas and a woman in a picturesque, cotton-candy colored setting. However, despite this sunny daydream, something sinister lurks in the shadows.
Check out the trippy clip below, as well as a full track list for No Shape and upcoming Perfume Genius tour dates.
