My Music Monday

I toyed with a May-themed MMM thread, but I tabled it for at least a month. I guess. 

I'm still on new music and there just doesn't seem to be a shortage of it lately - not that there ever is, but a lot I like does not bubble up my way. 2025 seems different. 

Or maybe I am. 

Today I'm going with Perfume Genius. He (yes, it's a he....or maybe a they/them, but not a band per se) first made an appearance here back in 2012(!!!).  "Hood" is still one of the best two minute songs that is out there. 

Michael Hadreas has been plugging away at his craft for a while now and finally seeming to make inroads, including a collaboration a year or two ago with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. 

I like the new tune, "It's a Mirror" enough. The enunciation could be better in the first half, but I think the song kicks into a better gear at the 2:20 mark. I think the music is well done and has a good cadence. I can see them playing this on Alt Nation on XM, but doubtful FM will touch it.
