Snipe Likes - Perfume Genius - 'Take Me Home'
Tom Jenkins | Thursday 9 August, 2012 17:01
Take Me Home, out September 24 on Organs (Turnstile), is the third single to be taken from Mike Hadreas’ highly acclaimed second album as Perfume Genius, Put Your Back N2 It (an open love-letter to East Finchley it is not). It’s a gorgeous slab of big-hearted, gospel-tinged melodrama, a style for which Hadreas is becoming something of a figurehead. It seems his tumultuous love life is serving as inspiration again, and without wishing to sound cruel, long may it continue. Catch Perfume Genius in the spin-tingling confines of the Union Chapel, September 6. If the BBC wishes to appear astute, this track should feature somewhere in their coverage of the Olympics closing ceremony. Just saying.
