The Lesson will be the second collaborative work created with Alan Wyffels and Tate Justus. The project is inspired by Elfriede Jelinek's novel The Piano Teacher. Wallich says they chose The Piano Teacher as a framework for the new project. The Lesson is planned to premiere at REDCAT in Los Angeles.

The three-night run of The Lesson at REDCAT will begin on 18 February 2027. The project will have a world tour covering New York City, Paris and other locations. The London premiere of The Lesson will take place at the Barbican on 21 March 2027.

Natural High is the first new music from Perfume Genius following the 2025 album Glory. Natural High is a six-minute track and was co-produced with Pascal Stevenson. Mike Hadreas says he thinks of his albums as the soundtracks to films that do not exist.
