On episode 12, Ben is joined by Evan to Exchainge music, discuss the avant garde and enigmatic artist Perfume Genius and his 2025 album Glory.
Glory (★★★★☆) continues the beautiful, time-signature experimental David Lynchian work from Mike Haldeas who, with his beautifully soothing voice, grails with themes of being middle aged, aging and death. In delivering a solid piece of art, Haldeas continued to leave one part groove, one part abstract, and one part comedic and bizarre experiment.
