“Lookout, Lookout” is the heartwrenching, honest and unabashedly sad music video from the astonishing debut album by Seattle-based singer-songwriter Mike Hadreas (aka Perfume Genius). “Learning” is a devastatingly lovely premiere album, a collection of songs that starkly explores the dark and melancholy world of drugs, depression, suicide and abuse. Hadreas has described the songs as having been written in an attempt to gain some understanding of his own troubled life, and they were originally intended to be heard by only his closest friends.
When close attention is paid, the music here is gut-wrenching, sad and fearlessly honest, while at the same time maintaining a dignified sense of resigned acceptance. Perfume Genius has managed to craft some of the finest heartfelt, new indie-music this side of the millennium, with sounds and plain-spoken lyrics that can tap into your inner emotions. Hadreas’s voice stands out with a soft-spoken tenderness and ethereal quality on the track “Gay Angels”, which switches from piano chords to minimalistic organ drones. “Lookout, Lookout” can push you to the point of possibly offering empathic, compassionate forgiveness to anyone who you feel has done wrong to you over the past few years.
This piece includes a number of high-resolution color photographs, as well as two music videos, “Lookout, Lookout” and “Gay Angels.”
