As a sort of queer icon for the underground set (think the opposite of Lady Gaga), Perfume Genius, otherwise known as Seattle-based artist Mike Hadreas, has been turning heads with his excellent just-released album, Too Bright. The album builds upon Perfume Genius’ quiet genius of 2012’s Put Your Back N 2 It with more complex sounds, noises and Hadreas’ lyrical wit. Hadreas historically confessional live shows are sure to reach new levels of engagement as he brings the sonic depths of Too Bright to life.
