Pitchfork
Perfume Genius is the moniker of local musician Mike Hadreas, whose debut album was just released on local label Matador Records. Already garnering lots of positive attention from The Stranger, BBC and Stereogum, and playing sold out shows in Paris, he also received a ‘Best new tracks’ lauding from internet tastemaker Pitchfork. About the album, “His brand of home-recorded pop sounds unbelievably intimate, with evocatively detailed lyrics that range from raw confessions to memories stained with longing. At times, you can literally hear Hadreas’ feet hit the piano pedals as he plays.” To listen to the track, “Mr. Peterson,” and to read the full review, follow the link.
