Perfume Genius has made a new song called “Rusty Chains” available to download. It’s an outtake from the Seattle piano man’s Put Your Back N 2 It album that he’s been performing live of late. He describes it as “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.”
