Mike Hadreas' 2010 debut was a singular affair. Music so fragile that the
wind might have blown straight through it. I was enchanted then and remain
under a dark spell with his second showing : 'Put Your Back N 2 It'. Perhaps
it's the ephemeral melodies; perhaps the lyrical ambiguity; maybe the uncommon
otherworldliness of his plaintive voice; probably all three but it moves me.
The dozen new songs in this new collection find Mr Hadreas as mournful as ever.
This is not an album to listen to if you happen to be a tad down in the dumps
but in its more tender moments ('Dirge', for example, belies its title and
delivers an incredibly moving vocal performance) it is strangely uplifting.
Rhythm plays a greater part in this material than previously. The occasional
deployment of percussion gives the album a more solidly grounded presence.
The bluesy 'Take Me Home' and deeply lugubrious 'Floating Spit' are given an
almost stately presence by their reverberating beats (the latter is further
enhanced by its haunting vocal harmonies) but there can be little doubt that
our host is at his best when digging deep into the darker corners of his soul.
The sublimely sepulchral atmosphere of 'All Waters' and the simple folksy joys of
final track 'Sister Song' will play havoc with your heartstrings if you let them.
Beauty has many faces. Perfume Genius understands the elusive power of melancholy.
Highly Recommended.

Mike Hadreas (aka Perfume Genius) has the ability to make homophobes see red - and much of the online comment that has been generated about this young man is driven by consummate homophobia - but it is many a year since I have been as excited about a new album as I am by Put Your Back N 2 It.
This is a staggeringly beautiful and intimate collection of unashamedly mournful and sense-awakening songs by an astonishingly talented artist. That he achieves this without also coming across as being nauseatingly self-indulgent only serves to attest to the true brilliance of this young man.

A superb second album from Perfume Genius, in my opinion even better than the first one. Haunting songs which are fairly lo-fi production-wise but a terrific sound and well worth listening to. Recommended.
