Having once believed the only way he would ever be able to overcome his phobia of performing live would be to sing down the phone, young Mike Hadreas’s (aka Perfume Genius) lo-fi pop harmonies are as fragmented, fragile and disarming as the man himself appears to be. Adorned with soaring strings and ethereal vocals that swell with an overwhelming warmth, the Seattle based pianist returns to our increasingly blustery shores this autumn to bite the bullet once more and actually play in front of a (no doubt rapt) live audience.
