STYLE:
FORMAT:
Vinyl record
DESCRIPTION:
Limited BLUE VINYL Issue.
For the past decade and a half Mike Hadreas has been making some of the most ambitious and powerful baroque pop music on the planet under his artistic moniker Perfume Genius. The Matador signee's seventh album is an ambitious affair and his most collaborative to date. Whereas before his process would be one of full control, this time his compositions were open to alteration from his band. And it's a move that's yielded fantastic results. 'It's a Mirror' is one of the most stylish songs he's ever written and it's recorded in a way that you really feel like he's going through the things he's singing about. You can imagine Michael Stipe begging for a guest spot on this beautifully orchestrated number. Meanwhile, the more complex and dynamic cut 'No Front Teeth' features one of the best voices of the century in Aldous Harding. The song is subtly haunting, with lyrics that sound culled from a H. P. Lovecraft story and delivered with such intensity. Artistically Perfume Genius is on another level here and likely to be peppering many end of year lists come winter.

Last FM Information on Perfume Genius
Please note the information is done on a artist keyword match and data is provided by LastFM.
Perfume Genius is the alias of singer-songwriter Mike Hadreas. Born in Des Moines, Iowa, Mike moved to Seattle when he was 6. Growing up, Hadreas was the only openly gay student at his school, and he received death threats that were ignored by the school administration. He dropped out of high school during his senior year. Two years after dropping out, he was attacked by several young men in his neighborhood. He moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and worked as a doorman for a club in the East Village. In 2005, Hadreas returned home to Seattle and began recording music. In 2008, Hadreas set up a MySpace page under the name Perfume Genius, beginning his music career. The moniker comes from the genius perfume-maker in Tom Tykwer’s 2006 movie Perfume: The Story of a Murderer.
Mike has released six studio albums - 2010's Learning, 2012's Put Your Back N 2 It, 2014's Too Bright, 2017's No Shape, 2020's Set My Heart On Fire Immediately and his most recent, 2022's Ugly Season, all of which have received praise from music critics.
