SEATTLE indie pop singer songwriter Perfume Genius, aka Mike Hadreas, is heading towards Cardiff this August for a rare UK appearance.

Mike, whose 2010 debut album, Learning, was described as “an album of rare, redemptive beauty…one of the most uniquely endearing and quietly forceful debut albums of recent years” will play The Globe on August 31.

He will feature material from his latest album Put Your Back N 2 It, which addresses such subjects as intimacy, power, family, secrecy, and hope not just through impressionistic lyrics, but through the music itself. Ticket information is available from globecardiff music.com
