Perfume Genius performed at 92YTribeca last Tuesday; one of only five shows on his schedule, three of which happened in Europe. Days before a practically unknown Perfume Genius was to perform, Pitchfork gave his album a 8.2. The New York Times music critic Jon Caramanica attended the show: He’s a tender, bruised singer, like a less affected Antony. Though he rarely works with much beyond piano, he writes sturdy melodies and arrangements, solid enough to carry his bleak lyrics, doled out frugally.
Amanda Hatfield of Brooklyn Vegan was also in attendance. “I definitely feel like I witnessed something pretty special,” she confessed. Check out all of Amanda’s photographs from the show. If you haven’t listened to the record, Turnstile Music is streaming it in full.
