The Perfume Genius track “Queen” was one of my favorite songs of last year and the song is the jewel in the crown of Perfume Genius‘ triumphant third record Too Bright.
I caught Mike Hadreas aka Perfume Genius behind the Vogue Theatre when he was in town opening for Belle & Sebastian. He had snuck out back for a quick vape and I got him to talk about his bubbling anger, his growth as a songwriter, the fact that every article about him uses the word "sexuality" and more. Listen to our chat!
