"Rusty Chains"

If you caught Perfume Genius (aka Mike Hadreas) on his recent tour, there's a chance that on top of hearing cuts off his recently released Put Your back N 2 It, you heard a new number called "Rusty Chains." And if you didn't, well, you can now download the gentle piano balladeer's latest song.

Matador Records posted the non-album track today (May 18), as well as a quick statement from Hadreas about the song. The track is apparently "a song for a man whose lover has died. He remembers a time, before his partner took sick, where everything felt safe and endless. He asks to be taken next, so they can be together again."
