Sharon Van Etten "Love More" ::: photo by Josh Lovseth If my 2010 was a mix tape (or a couple mix tapes as it were), these would be the tracks. These were the songs that were my most frequent and adored companions of 2010. They're the songs I'll know the words to for the rest of [...]

Sunset in the Rearview's Top 20 Albums of 2010 Everybody else was doing it; why shouldn't I? That's typically not something I condone in life, because it's bad to give in to social trends and peer pressure. Right? Right. Well, this time, I'm breaking my own rules to bring to you Sunset in the Rearview's Top 20 Albums of 2010 . By this I mean my personal favorite albums of the year. I listened to several, and there are many that I enjoyed that didn't make this list. But [...]
(All week we're counting down the top albums of 2010. For previous entries on the list, click here or simply scroll down. We hope you enjoy the music.) 20. The Budos Band - The Budos Band III These Staten Island revivalists fuse Afro-beat with the sounds of instrumental-rock godfathers The Ventures and The Meters, and Enrico Morricone's Spaghetti Western scores. Their throwback sound is a harder, louder, and darker [...]

Mike Hadreas é o responsável pelo "disco que merece atenção" em 2010. Para sermos mais exatos, Mike atende pelo nome de Perfume Genius e merece destaque pelo ótimo lançamento de Learning . O rapaz é de Seattle, cidade de Kurt Cobain e onde acontece a história de Grey's Anatomy . É assim a cidade de Perfume Genius : clima gélido, monótono e conservador. Dessa forma, se apresenta de uma maneira triste, com um disco triste, talvez otimista. [...]
Matador Records has reissued Learning, the debut LP from Seattle's Perfume Genius (a.k.a. Mike Hadreas), which was originally released in June. The new version of Learning comes in a cardboard slipcase with new artwork as well as a coupon that allows you to download three new tracks: "Dreeem," "Your Drum" and "Divine Faxes." Like we've said [...]
The first time we heard Learning by Perfume Genius we almost didn't listen again. It was a record that sounded sleight, rather pathetic and lacking in any melodic grace. Yet a number of months on, the album is in our top 10 of the year, having slowly wormed its way into our heart. Learning is a sad, sparse and vulnerable record. Each listen seems almost voyeuristically wrong. Melancholic songs formed from simple piano or electronic arrangements and [...]
Perfume Genius está logrando llamar mucho la atención con su debut discográfico, Learning , y Matador Records no quiere dejar pasar la oportunidad de explotar el momento en que el singer-songwriter Mike Hadreas, el joven detrás de este proyecto, se encuentra estrenando nuevas canciones en sus conciertos: ha planeado una reedición del disco que añadirá tres nuevas pistas al tracklist y que se hará efectiva con su lanzamiento a fines de esta semana. Debajo de un cover art distinto al de su primera edición (que [...]
Cosa c'è di meglio per chiudere una domenica invernale di una struggente canzone piano e voce accompagnata da un video a tinte sfocate? magari moltissime cose, ma qui su Soundsblog questo modo ci piace. Il presupposto ce lo da Perfume Genius , all'anagrafe Mike Hadreas, e la sua Lookout, Lookout , diretto nel video d'occorrenza da Patrick Sher . 26 anni, proveniente da Seattle è di sicuro una delle uscite discografiche meno osannate di questo 2010 ma il suo "Learning" è un disco affascinante ed intenso come pochi altri. [...]
Perfume Genius é o pseudônimo de Mike Hadreas , cotado como melhor surpresa de 2010. Suas músicas simples e comoventes tem gerado críticas boas para o debut do rapaz, Learning . No vídeo de "Look Out, Look Out" , ele resume a solidão em uma melodia de causar arrepios. Difícil não se emocionar com o vídeo. Dirigido por Patrick Sher , o mesmo de "Wait For Me" do Moby , consegue transmitir o verdadeiro [...]
2010 was a year that seemed to be eternally searching for it's sound, looking for music that could kick start the next decade's defining genre and go on to dominate the next generation of teenagers. Sub-genres were amplified, as we heard a lot of angry noise (Sleigh Bells) and shoegazing chillwave (dozens of artists from the East Coast of America), which perhaps reflects our economic times. Elsewhere, just about every other genre made an appearance, so long as you can put an 'ALT' before it. Who goes on to influence the rest and which albums will be lucky [...]
PERFUME GENIUS by Patrick Sher from Wonderland Magazine on Vimeo . No words on this one other than buy the exquisite 'Learning' - I put the record at number 14 on my best of 2010 list but it's hardly been off my record player this week, so maybe that was a little low! There is a new deluxe version coming out with three additional tracks so make sure that's the one you get.
Perfume Genius is Mike Andreas from Seattle, Wa. Although I figure a lot of you guys don't need an introduction. His debut album titled "Learning" was released in June of this year and one of his... Listen At BIRP!
At the end of every year the national music media seems to choose one Seattle artist to include in their end of the year lists and summarily ignore everything else released from our cloudy corner of the country. This year, the token "Seattle album" on every major best of list hails from Mike Hadreas, better [...]
![[Watch] – New Video By Perfume Genius – "Lookout, Lookout"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3035840_lg.jpg)
As I said a couple of days ago , Perfume Genius has one of the standout albums of the year, the only downside being that his songs are too damn short....I find myself just longing them to continue for another six minutes only to be let down every time. This new video for "Lookout, Lookout" is fairly simple; him in a motel room, then outside the motel and hanging around, and then generally just having tall hair.

Watch 'Lookout, Lookout' below. I'm giving away tix to catch him in Brooklyn! MP3: Perfume Genius - Learning
'Look Out, Look Out', one of our fav tracks of Perfume Genius' debut album 'Learning' gets a video. Wonderful! Directed by Patrick Sher. In case you missed it, grab the new Perfume Genius song 'Dreeem' for free here .
