Our guest today is alternative songwriter and artist Perfume Genius, the musical project of Mike Hadreas. For 15 years, he’s evolved from sparse acoustics to ‘80s pop, chamber pop, and alt-rock—earning Grammy and GLAAD nods and collaborating with Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sharon Van Etten. Today, he releases his seventh album, Glory, a record that sees him expanding his sound once again, weaving in indie rock and Americana influences while maintaining his signature emotional depth. In today’s episode, we speak with Mike about how Glory took shape and how its themes of mortality and the passage of time emerged naturally. We also discuss balancing those weighty subjects with moments of levity and how he brought his band into the creative process in a new way.Perfume Genius: Instagram / Spotify Purchase Glory and find the band on tour here.Visit our official website here and follow us across our socials.
