I think all of us have been broken, sometime, somewhere, we've known what it is to feel unloved, unworthy, outcast. And some of us have a keen sense of the daily pain of growing up in the dark. It is from this void that the subtle beautiful echo of Perfume Genius has emerged.

The intricacies of love, desire, coupling, and fulfillment flow like a crushed velvet tide washing up on battered shores. So fragile yet so uplifting, the artist has spun silk around our hearts embracing our sadness, our disenfranchised youth, the memory of a lover.

Subtle organic electronics paired with an angelic resonance akin to James Blake, Arthur Russell, or Julianna Barwick -- Perfume Genius will capture your every wish, fulfill it, empty your soul of its insecurities and then renew in a sensual catharsis. An achievement of pure fragrant genius.
