From Myspace changeling to vulnerable showman, Perfume Genius — aka Michael Hadreas — is one of the most quietly and consistently brilliant art-pop artists working today. The American songwriter has collaborated with Sharon Van Etten, Portishead’s Adrien Utley, Christine and the Queens, and Aldous Harding. He follows an offbeat, absurdist path, one that’s twisted past sparse folk to seek out disruptively colourful synth, chamber-rock, and Americana, and on upcoming new album Glory, nineties indie rock and haunted confession — his emotional generosity always at the fore.
