Perfume Genius - Too Bright (10th Anniversary) [Clear Vinyl]

Released in 2014, Too Bright remains an early standout of Perfume Genius's (Mike Hadreas) unparalleled oeuvre. It is a brave, bold, unpredictably quixotic exploration of what Hadreas called in 2014 "an underlying rage that has slowly been growing since ten and has just begun to bubble up."

Recorded with Adrian Utley of Portishead and featuring John Parish on several tracks, it is a stunning about-face which brings to mind audacious career-shift albums like Kate Bush's The Dreaming or Scott Walker's Tilt, records which walk the tightrope between pure songwriting and overt experimentation.

10th Anniversary Edition CLEAR vinyl produced by Matador Records in 2024 for their Revisionist History Series.
