Some genius from Perfume Genius

So this guy’s doing things backwards and is somehow all the better for it. After moving from New York to Everett, Washington  to live with his Mom in 2008 (usually we do that in the reverse, kiddo) he’s been composing….but this is the first i’ve heard of “Perfume Genius” (nee Mike Hadreas). His first album appeared on Matador in 2010 and his new album, Put Your Back N 2 It, arrived earlier this year. 

 It’s startlingly vulnerable and packs quite a punch in 2 short minutes.

 I’m on the fence on the video…decide for yourself.
