If his lyrics are any indication, Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas) has lived a lot of life in his early years. His second album, 2012’s Put Your Back N 2 It, has been feted by reviewers for its confessional intimacy, piano-led beauty and firm grasp of identity politics. Perfume Genius’ music uncovers what we all have in common by celebrating the differences that define us.
Though stark and revealing, his songs are tender and tuneful, with a voice that bears comparison to Sufjan Stevens in its ability to be simultaneously sad and uplifting.
Perfume Genius can make falsetto sound like a whispered secret, yet his live shows are renowned for their humour as much as their musical intensity.
“A delicate collection of near-gospel songs for the brokenhearted” – Filter
