Perfume Genius

—Normal Song

No secret. No matter how nasty

Can poison your voice. 

Or keep you from joy

There’s a kind of remarkable poignancy and sensitivity to Mike Hadreas’ sophomore album. Intended as a soundtrack for anyone trying to keep it together, it is a triumph of fearless speech and beauty rarely seen in music.

If I had known then what I know now: Rimbaud + Kylie and growing up in the suburbs reading A SEASON IN HELL and imagining my life as an ‘infernal bridegroom’. My understanding of love came in equal measures from the pop music I consumed and the literature I misunderstood.

Fuck me and marry me young: Yesterday I spent the entire balance of my credit card on new bed linen, pillows and duvet. I allowed myself to indulge in thread counts without much restraint. And while it doesn’t look that impressive, its much more comfortable and inviting than the day before. I can finally throw out all the manchester associated with my ex and start making new histories with new bedfellows.

Racing this week to finish a big Scandinavian/Nordic project called ‘Midnight Sun: Film and Video from the North’ that opens in March. Keeping motivated with the sweeping choruses and overblown melodies of Sweden’s finest… thinly veiling an otherwise concentrated exercise in loneliness and unhappy endings.
