Doing the annual visit back to the UK always yields interesting opportunities and for me, in 2012, I grabbed the chance to see this band live with both hands. What resulted was one of the tenderest performances I have ever seen. The voice is tender and wobbly and times, but soars at others.
The closest point of comparison I can give for Seattle's Perfume Genius would be Bright Eyes or Phil Collins - there is a certainly an 80's feel to this sophomore outing- but all in all, it seems that Mike Hadreas and his boyfriend managed to lay down they own ethereal concoction that evolved the sound and the overall quality. Perfume genius; it's impossible to forget the name and the music for shizzle, though the name of the album title is somewhat misleading, especially when this is music for softies!!!
