Perfume Genius – Put Your Back N 2 It

  • January 6, 2012

Seattle-based singer/songwriter Mike Hadreas is back as Perfume Genius, expanding from a solo gig into a three-piece. His sophomore release “Put Your Back N 2 It” follows his successful 2010 debut, Learning. Due out February 21st again on the Matador label, Put Your Back N 2 It retains Hadreas’ confessional style but expands beyond the personal to the universal, touching on themes of sex, power, and family. With the help of Andrew Morgan (musician and former Elliott Smith collaborator) and John Goodmanson (indie rock producer and mixer for bands like Sleater-Kinney, Death Cab for Cutie, and Los Campesinos), Hadreas’ sound evolves beyond lo-fi bedroom recordings into more expansive, lush, and polished instrumentation. For a preview of Put Your Back N 2 It, which is sure to be an even greater and widespread success than Learning, check out promo single “All Waters.” – Written by SMarx
