Perfume Genius - Describe

A: Perfume Genius
S: Describe

Mike Hadreas’ fifth album as Perfume Genius thrums with an intoxicating physical energy. Set My Heart on Fire Immediately follows through on urgency of its title. Describe originally started as a somber ballad before Mike turned it into the distorted country-rock song it is now, keeping the vocal the same, adding a guitar that actually heightens the original spirit of the song - or as Mike puts it: It makes the vocal gentler, and then my vocal made his guitar heavier. I like that wrestle, and that’s what that song is about—feeling on edge physically and emotionally, where you know that there’s more available to you, but you can’t access it in that void of depression.

... the lock on the door is barely holding.
