Perfume Genius

A concert by Perfume Genius, the Seattle-based project of a singer-songwriter, with Dan English also on the bill, at Union Chapel in London.

Perfume Genius is the musical project of a Seattle-based singer-songwriter, active since the early 2010s. The debut album Learning appeared in 2010, followed by Put Your Back N 2 It (2012) and Too Bright (2014). Early songs were built largely around piano and voice, and No Shape (2017) and Set My Heart on Fire Immediately (2020) opened the sound out to fuller, more expansive arrangements.

The songs combine intimate, personal lyrics with dramatic, sustained vocal delivery, and the project has remained a steady presence in independent and art-pop circles. Dan English is also on the bill.

Union Chapel is a former Congregational church in Islington, and it hosts concerts and shows in London. The evening suits listeners who follow indie rock and art-pop songwriting.
