Perfume Genius

Perfume Genius is Mike Hadreas, a Seattle songwriter whose debut album, Learning, was called 'an album of rare, redemptive beauty...one of the most uniquely endearing and quietly forceful debut albums of recent years' by Drowned In Sound, and established him as one of the most singular songwriters today.

Though Learning's voyeuristic window into Hadreas’s experiences resonated intensely with many people, his new album Put Your Back N 2 It is much more universal, 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. It’s a gorgeous soundtrack for anyone trying to keep it together in everyday life, and about moving forward.
