Mike Hadreas has spent fifteen years building one of the most emotionally unguarded bodies of work in contemporary music, from the stark piano confessions of his debut through the orchestral maximalism of "Set My Heart on Fire Immediately." Glory finds him in genuinely new territory, writing into and around a live band rather than constructing songs inward, and the presence of Jim Keltner alone signals that Hadreas is reaching toward something with real rock and roll gravity. 'Glory' the new album from Perfume Genius. 'Glory' has a pristine surface and a tender, roiling underside. Mike Hadreas' seventh album is muscular, filled out by his partner in life and songcraft Alan Wyffels and longtime producer Blake Mills alongside the fiercest band Perfume Genius has ever assembled: guitarists Meg Duffy and Greg Uhlmann, drummers Tim Carr and Jim Keltner, and bassist Pat Kelly. For 'Glory,' he discovered a new songwriting process because he welcomed the dynamics of a group, leaving room in his compositions for his friends to flesh out the arrangements. As Hadreas says: "I'm more engaged with the band and the audience. I'm still on some wild tear, but there's more access and it's more collaborative, in a way that makes it better, but also scary-because it feels more vulnerable."... - Daniel Felsenthal Tracklist 1.
