Perfume Genius
Perfume Genius is Mike Hadreas, a Seattle songwriter whose jarring 2010 debut album, 'Learning', established him as one of the most singular songwriters today.
The bulk of 'Learning' sprung from a time of self-imposed isolation in his mother’s suburban home following a period of trauma and self-destruction whereas second full length 'Put Your Back N 2 It' included much more universal themes, addressing intimacy, power, family, secrecy, and hope not just through his impressionistic lyrics, but the music itself, which is as lush as Learning was stark. Now equipped with songs from his recently completed third album, Mike is ready to show a complete other side to himself.
