With loads of beautiful sounds and intensely sad emotions, the new Perfume Genius record brings together an assembly of powerful, yet short, songs. WATCH THE REVIEW
Happy Presidents Day week, everybody. A commanding list of new releases awaits you in stores today. Among them is the latest by our recent guest and longtime friend of KEXP, Damien Jurado , whose Maraqopa would be good enough to get him elected President of Seattle if there were such a thing. Our Music Director, Don Yates, says the new album "sounds like nothing else in Jurado's illustrious catalog. It's a dynamic and expansive set of adventurous psych-folk with a variety of haunting, well-crafted songs featuring trippy guitar work, atmospheric keyboards, swelling strings and various [...]

This follows the news that Bella Union will be taking over the festival on the Friday in celebration of their 15th anniversary ( info here ). For more [...]
The words 'piano balladeer' are enough to strike fear into the heart of many a music fan and have them ducking for cover behind a stack of Stooges LPs, but things are a little different when it comes to Seattle ivory tinkler Mike Hadreas, whose plaintive compositions arrive from a different dimension to vulgarities such as 'Candle In The Wind'. His 2010 debut album as Perfume Genius brought with it a succession of gushing reviews, both of the record and of his live performances. For a brief period you could barely move in the music press without bumping [...]
If Michael Hadreas may have once been perceived as a rather introspective and emotionally ailing individual erring on the side of the ephemerally excellent, sophomore effort Put Your Back N 2 It – conceivably named after Ice Cube's infamous floor-filler of '91 – bathes in a vivid vibrancy, an effortless grandiosity, a puddle of glistening effervescence. Youtube bans and Beirut support slots aside, Perfume Genius' impressionistic and aromatic wafts of overwhelming melancholia and arresting melodrama now seem all but imminently all-pervasive... Awol Marine heralds the record's heartstring-yanking, veritably artistic [...]
Angel Ceballos I'll say up front that I never got around to listening to Learning , the first album from Seattle's Mike Hadreas who performs as Perfume Genius , when it came out in 2010. While his short set of voice and piano didn't get drowned out in the lineup of guitar-heavy rock at Matador 21 but rather impressively managed to silence it, at least for the duration of his short set, it didn't manage to do the same against all the stuff I had to listen to at [...]
Beats Per Minute (Philip Cosores): So how do you feel at this point before the album comes out? Is it like a calm before the storm or are you nervous about how the album will be received? Perfume Genius (Mike Hadreas): Um, I'm completely freaked out. -laughter- To be honest, I could probably be cooler about it. I get overwhelmed easily just doing the normal things I have to do... But yeah, it's going to be what it's going to be and I'm just happy people want to talk to me about it. [...]

Shawn Brackbill How to follow up a career-defining record is hard enough question for most bands fortunate enough to find themselves in the position of having to do so.

Por Fernando Lopes Ao contrário do que dizem, o suicídio não é um ato de coragem. Corajoso é aquele que enfrenta os problemas, que vive pra bater de frente com as travessuras do destino. Qualquer manual mequetrefe de auto-ajuda diria que a pessoa deve ter forças pra se superar, buscando na família, nos amigos, no trabalho e no amor a base necessária pra passar pelos percalços. Mas, aí, o conselho não serve pra Mike Hadreas . Ele é um solitário e a julgar pelo seu segundo disco, Put Your [...]

Perfume Genius' debut album, Learning , was the kind of record that was so bare and painful that it was hard to listen to. From what I've heard of his follow-up the same could be said, except on this time the songs are even prettier. Mike Hadreas has emerged as this confessional songwriter who's really not afraid to let it all out there, often to great effect. As tough as the last one was to get into, I'm really excited to have Put Your Back N 2 It in rotation as soon as possible, which is actually right [...]
