{"product_id":"learning","title":"Learning","description":"\u003cp\u003eEven though he is only in his 20s, Mike Hadreas, aka Seattle’s PERFUME GENIUS, has a story with the twists and turns of a person who has seen a lot of darkness. Hadreas explains: “I spent my whole life hiding from the things that happened to me, to my family and friends. The entirety of all these experiences: abuse, addiction, suicide, all that cool stuff, I couldn’t bear to look at it.”   \u003cbr\u003eThis extraordinary debut album explores that world through home-recorded songs that bring to mind early Cat Power, Elliott Smith, Sufjan Stevens and Pink Moon-era Nick Drake. Mostly simple vocal and piano, the minor-key melodies work their way into your brain and stick there. “Mr. Peterson\" is the seemingly innocuous tale of a high school teacher turned inside-out. “Gay Angels' is a gorgeous soundscape of layered organs and synths. “Write To Your Brother' contains elliptical allusions to a mother treating a song “like a lover.' Hadreas’s life is a catalog of remembered pain and sadness, and this album is an indelible testament to that.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perfume Genius","offers":[{"title":"Learning LP","offer_id":45792493502533,"sku":"kfl1789782565409","price":13.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Learning CD","offer_id":45792493535301,"sku":"qoy1789782565410","price":9.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/7440\/7493\/files\/learning_1.jpg?v=1789782569","url":"https:\/\/dawnstrollclad.shop\/products\/learning","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
