Mike Hadreas of Perfume Genius talks with Emily Fox about how his inner fears, struggles with mental health, paranoid fantasies and reflections on gay lust and love show up on his latest album, Glory. “I think I was just really afraid and I felt really tender and mortal and the world felt really fragile and scary and I couldn't figure out how to move through it very well,” Hadreas says speaking writing through depression. "And I didn't really know how to hold all of these things that I was feeling and move towards getting out of my head. I was just kind of stuck.” Photo by Cody CritcheloeSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Hadreas, better known as Perfume Genius, has been making music since 2010, when he released his debut album, “Learning.” Since then, he's become known for writing vulnerable songs that still feel incredibly powerful and danceable. While the cliché is that artists make their best work when they're struggling — or even under the influence of drugs or alcohol — that was not the case at all for Perfume Genius. He joins Tom Power to chat about his new album, “Glory,” which he says feels like a “culmination” of everything he's learned in the years since he got sober and started making music. If you enjoy this conversation, check out Tom's 2023 interview with singer-songwriter Sam Smith on their album, “Gloria.”

Tenim nou disc de la banda liderada per Mike Hadreas. "Glory"

Mike Hadreas, aka Perfume Genius, was expected to follow his last collection with a return to the his perfectly sculpted run of albums, so why does this feel more like another disjointed collection, when compared to his best work?

Ojalá todas las fotos de promo fueran como las que presentan el universo visual de 'Glory'. En ninguna de las que he visto aparece en pie. Colgado, de rodillas o arrastrándose por el suelo, es justo como me imagino visualmente la desazón que continen sus letras. Mike Hadreas recupera en su nuevo disco las letras que escribió durante el confinamiento y que se traducen en preocupaciones sobre la manera en la que se involucra emocionalmente en sus relaciones, su autopercepción como alguien inmaduro y la melancolía que impregna su visión del mundo. Dramas y ansiedades en las que nos podemos mirar todos. Playlist:Perfume Genius - Full OnLucy Dacus - ModiglianiBlack Country, New Road - BestiesFontaines D.C. - It's Amazing To Be YoungBon Iver, Danielle Haim - If Only I Could WaitGuitarricadelafuente - Futuros amantesVera Fauna, Ángeles Toledano - Me destruyeLael Neale - Down On The FreewayTy Segall - Fantastic TombDinamarca, Meth Math - chairoAMORE - DelirioTRISTÁN! - Life Is A MovieYaya Bey, Father Philis - merlot and grigioButcher Brown, Yaya Bey - I RememberLittle Simz - FreeYukimi - Peace ReignEscuchar audio

Mike Hadreas, aka Perfume Genius, takes us inside the creative process behind his new record, Glory, produced by Blake Mills. During the conversation, Mike describes how he balances spontaneity with structure, the art of becoming a song detective, and why he writes his best work in 'goblin mode'.

Our guest today is alternative songwriter and artist Perfume Genius, the musical project of Mike Hadreas. For 15 years, he's evolved from sparse acoustics to ‘80s pop, chamber pop, and alt-rock—earning Grammy and GLAAD nods and collaborating with Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sharon Van Etten. Today, he releases his seventh album, Glory, a record that sees him expanding his sound once again, weaving in indie rock and Americana influences while maintaining his signature emotional depth. In today's episode, we speak with Mike about how Glory took shape and how its themes of mortality and the passage of time emerged naturally. We also discuss balancing those weighty subjects with moments of levity and how he brought his band into the creative process in a new way.Perfume Genius: Instagram / Spotify Purchase Glory and find the band on tour here.Visit our official website here and follow us across our socials.

With already one of the most impeccable discographies over the last decade, Mike Hadreas' latest is a wild left turn into the avant-garde. Originally music for a modern dance piece, here assembled as an album, gone are the front and center vocals and melodies, replaced by in turns ambient, left field and industrial passages - that fair better on a compelling second half.

This week, I want to revisit one of my favorite episodes of Song Exploder, with Perfume Genius telling the story of making Slip Away. This episode originally came out in May 2017. The album the song's from, No Shape, went on to be nominated for a Grammy, and was named one of the year's best in lots of places. And next week, on March 16, Perfume Genius will be playing at the Song Exploder Stage at SXSW. I'm really excited to be putting on a showcase at the festival, and the other artists playing will be Kimbra, Sarah Kinsley, Fly Anakin, and Jenny Owen Youngs. For more information about the show: songexploder.net/sxsw - Mike Hadreas has been making music under the name Perfume Genius since 2008. In May 2017, he put out his fourth album, No Shape to widespread critical acclaim. In this episode, Mike breaks down the song Slip Away. I also spoke with producer Blake Mills, who also plays on the track, and recording engineer Shawn Everett about the unusual way the song was recorded. For more, visit songexploder.net/perfume-genius

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got a great conversation between two guys who don't necessarily have a ton in common musically, but who approach creativity in similar ways—and who happen to be great fans of each other's work: Mike Hadreas of Perfume Genius, and composer-performer-multi-hyphenate Max Richter. Hadreas, whom you've hopefully heard on the Talkhouse Podcast in the past, has been recording and performing under the name Perfume Genius since 2008, and he's one of those artists whose music just inexplicably gets better with each passing day—even when you think it couldn't. His records are this incredible combination of fearlessness and joy, whether he's singing about dealing with homophobia or just making bodies move. The latest Perfume Genius record, which came out right as Covid was entering the world's consciousness, bears the fantastic title Set My Heart On Fire Immediately. Perfume Genius will start playing shows again next month; check out perfumegenius.org for dates. As for Max Richter, it would take far more than this limited space allows just going over his resume. From contributing to a classic Future Sound of London album back in the ‘90s through his incredible score for HBO's The Leftovers to a dozen other things, the musician/composer has an incredibly full plate. He composed an eight-hour minimalist classical piece called Sleep, which was performed for audiences that were provided with beds and encouraged to, y'know, fall asleep. (It's now an app, too!) His latest release, just out last week, is called Exiles, and it features a lengthy new track that he composed for a ballet alongside some reimaginings of pieces he's composed over the years. In this conversation, Richter and Hadreas talk about how making music is about articulating what can't otherwise be articulated, where to start when you're working on a soundtrack, and the joys of being influenced by other music. Enjoy. This episode was produced by Melissa Kaplan, and the Talkhouse theme was composed and performed by the Range. See you next time!

Mike Hadreas, a.k.a. Perfume Genius, tells The FADER's Shaad D'Souza about his new Substack, his excellent last album Set My Heart On Fire Immediately, and his music for the 2019 dance piece The Sun Still Burns Here.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mit „Set My Heart On Fire Immediately” hat der Singer-Songwriter Mike Hadreas aus Los Angeles 2020 eines der besten Pop-Alben des Jahres veröffentlicht. Jetzt erscheint mit „Immediately Remixes“ eine komplett überbeitete Version dieses Albums mit Songversionen von Boy Harsher, Planningtorock und vielen anderen. Christian Lehner hat mit Mike Hadreas via Zoom über den Trend zum Remix-Album gesprochen, über das queere Selbstverständnis in den USA nach Donald Trump und über das Thema, das uns alle seit einem Jahr beschäftigt.

Caroline Polachek, Perfume Genius, Jlin and Oneohtrix Point Never discuss their links to poetry, and how they find harmony between competing elements in songs. Caroline Polachek is a pop and avant garde musician, record producer, writer and singer, who broke through in 2008 with her band Chairlift. She’s now releasing music under her own name, and counts Lady Gaga, Charli XCX, and Taylor Swift as fans. Mike Hadreas, better known as Perfume Genius, is an art-pop singer who addresses topics such as sexuality, domestic abuse, and his personal battle with Crohn’s disease in his music. Experimental electronic producer Jlin has worked with the likes of previous Music Life host Max Richter, Holly Herndon, St Vincent and Björk, and her latest record deals with issues such as “history, mythology, imprisonment, culture wars, and a clash of civilizations”. Finally, Brooklyn-based musician, soundtrack composer, and producer Daniel Lopatin works under the name Oneohtrix Point Never, and has collaborated with Iggy Pop, Anohni, Nine Inch Nails, David Byrne, and FKA Twigs.

Mike Hadreas is finding ways to stay sane in 2020 – whether that's asking his Twitter followers to send him photos of demonic Chihuahuas or driving out into the Joshua Tree desert to perform live at sunset and roll in the dust. Greg Cochrane dialled him up at home in L.A. with his dog Wanda to talk about the 10 years since Perfume Genius' debut album Learning, his favourite moments where his music has been used in movies and why the immersive theatre project he worked on in 2019 left him crying at passing cars. That, and some chat about his 2020 album Set My Heart On Fire Immediately.

Why Not Both is an exploration of how our multiple passions shape our identity, hosted by musician and therapist Pam Shaffer and produced by writer and photographer Laura Studarus. For our third season, we partnered up with Under The Radar to explore the lives of musicians, writers, actors, and creatives. We’ve all been having a bit of an out of body experience during quarantine but at least we got to chat with Perfume Genius aka Mike Hadreas about how dancing helped him connect with his body in a novel way before we all got stuck inside. As a writer and singer, he has explored some gorgeous emotional landscapes, but in dance, he found a way to express those feelings that just can’t be translated into words. Whether it’s performing on livestream to an empty theater, or channeling his inner chihuahua energy, Hadreas never fails to enthrall us. Thanks again for listening!

Singer/songwriter Perfume Genius — aka Mike Hadreas — and playwright Jeremy O. Harris (Slave Play) are each boundary-shattering artists. Their takes on queer sexuality, trauma, and, in Jeremy's case, race have seen them deified in their respective fields. They're also massive fans of one another's work, and while the two have been "internet friends" for a while, we were truly thrilled to pair them for their first-ever conversation right here on the Talkhouse Podcast. In this insightful discussion, they share their artistic processes, including consciously pushing boundaries and avoiding comfort zones by showing the world one’s metaphorical — and literal — asshole. They also share deets on the amazing celebs Mike has written with, and who Jeremy is getting ready to work with.

Don’t you want to feel alive, don’t you want to feel emotions? That’s the crux of our latest episode of Analysis Paralysis, a swim through the latest record by Mike Hadreas, aka Perfume Genius. "Set My Heart On Fire Immediately" is the fifth album from Perfume Genius and subtle it is not. Big bold deconstructions of pop sounds, late night waltzes, shifting, lilting vocal performances. In a nod to its predecessor, "No Shape", this is a record of excess, of big, brash sounds. It’s also an album of transformation, of softness, of quiet revolution and sexual tension and desire. Sam, Holly and Adam get together to talk about gender, co-dependence, power dynamics in queer relationships, self-loathing, the power of a teenage crush on Alyssa Milano and a whole lot more.

Perfume Genius is out with a new album titled "Set My Heart On Fire Immediately." Lead singer Mike Hadreas explains the music and what it's like to release an album in the midst of a pandemic. Also, as we head into the hot summer months, many Americans will struggle to pay for utilities, like air conditioning, which in parts of the country is not a luxury but a necessity.

Hello and welcome to this episode of BPM Pod, the podcast where we get behind people's music.   I hope you're doing well out there in these strange times and am glad you're taking the time to listen to the podcast. Thanks for your continued support, love and dedication. Remember if you want to get in touch with me here at BPM Pod, you can do so via the social channels, so definitely check those out. And I'd like to know what music you've enjoyed recently too so, if you want to submit a quick 30 second clip of you reviewing some music you've encountered recently – good or bad – then head over to the Facebook page at BPM Pod and drop me a message.   So for now, it's time for another episode of The Pulse here on BPM Pod, where I look at some of the music I've recently encountered – some new, some old, some finished, some not.   On this episode, I look at new music from Haim, Perfume Genius, and Fiona Apple. But first, I want to turn my attention to one of my favourite singer-songwriters today, and someone we've heard a bit of before on this podcast, and that is Jason Isbell with his album Reunions.   Jason Isbell – Reunions The fourth album from American alt-country soft-rock blues-rock singer-songwriter Jason Isbell, accompanied here by The 400 Unit. Follows The Nashville Sound – a great album – from 2017.   Now I read somewhere that Isbell thinks Reunions is his strongest work yet and that set me up for expecting a lot, so do keep that in mind. But overall, Reunions for me was good, not great.   On the plus side, the sound here is different and has a lot more resemblance to a well produced Jackson Browne album, or offcuts of Dire Straits. There's a lot of overdubbing and layering here with some dreamlike effects, stereo landscapes and so on.   In terms of the songwriting, it's largely strong, with stand out tracks such as Overseas, Be Afraid and Only Children really stealing the show. A couple for me fall by the wayside, including St Peter's Autograph, Running With Our Eyes Closed, and controversially What've I Done To Help – a track which people seem to love for the Bill Withers slash Walk on the Wild Side blend, but is a track I think is overly long, repetitive and quite weak lyrically.   There are excellent performances from the band members, as always. Dave Cobb does brilliantly with the production too. But unlike his previous releases – Southeastern and Something more than free particularly – there's something in Reunions which brings distance and unrelatability. It's not somehow as touching or heartfelt, even though individual elements are excellent, whereas his other releases demand repeat listens to understand all of the emotions underneath.   So I overall like the direction Isbell has taken with this album, particularly in terms of the new sounds he has created, but for me it is not his best. Still a very worthy addition to his catalogue, and I recommend fans buy it, and newcomers give it a listen at least.     Haim women in Music Part 3 Now this is not strictly a review, as the album has now been delayed until June sometime, due to the current nonsense in the world. But with that said, I want to talk about it because the first handful of tracks from the upcoming album really point to something special.   Now I have been a Haim fan for a long time, even when I had people saying they were poppy Fleetwood Mac rip-offs. To me they've always had some kind of sense of humour and gravitas about them, as well as a tonne of talent. And while I still don't fully understand or hear the influences that Haim tout so often – such as Destiny's Child, TLC and so on – I do get the pop sensibilities that they evoke.   The tracks that are out there so far are Summer Girl, Now I'm In It, Hallelujah, The Steps, I Know Alone, and Don't Wanna. So there's almost half the album out there right now.   For me, the strongest tracks are Don't Wanna and The Steps, but I guess this is because it appeals to my previously mentioned Fleetwood Mac tendencies. Summer Girl was released a while ago now kind of out of the blue and has a definite – again I mention this – Walk On The Wild Side vibe. It's very non-Haim but also very Haim.   One track that sounds very non-Haim is I Know Alone, which has a strange but somehow alluring music video of the sisters dancing in a socially distant manner. It's a song that sounds more akin to something from Caroline Polachek, notably the song Doors, and therefore is not so far removed from the Haim sound, but is a little different. Lyrically, I find the Haim track I Know Alone pretty weak, and it's too repetitive for my liking, too generic, and too electronic for my taste. However, a bit like the directional change I praised Jason Isbell for earlier, I like that Haim are trying something new.   So the album Women in Music Part 3 is not out for a little while but, based on the tracks so far, I think we're in for an absolute treat from Haim and I cannot wait to get stuck into the album for real.   Perfume Genius Set My Heart on Fire Immediately Perfume Genius, the moniker of singer-songwriter Mike Hadreas, released this album this week to absolute critical acclaim.   I confess: I had never heard of Perfume Genius before. But I guarantee you I will be tracking music from Perfume Genius in the future.   I wasn't blown away by this album quite to the gushing same level of reviews from Alex Petridis in The Guardian and so on, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. The tracks here are certainly pop, but of a candied late seventies early eighties vibe, somewhat like Paul Young or Bryan Ferry.   Vocally, this album is excellent. There's real longing, hurt and strain across the album, particularly on songs like Just A Touch. The singles – notably On The Floor – have an almost Vampire Weekend vibe to them. And for an artist who writes a lot about addiction, bullying, and sexuality, there's a happiness in many places on this record.   A couple of tracks here can't be put into the same synth-driven slick pop bucket as the rest though, notably Describe, which is a kind of noir-ish pop-grunge track, which I actually kind of feel like is what Neil Young was trying to go for with his eighties New Wave slash grunge idea but never really achieved. It's a weird track for sure, and I heard someone describe it as 'gay grunge' which I don't know is an appropriate or correct description, but equally I cannot quite put my finger on how to describe it either.   I do think the album is a little long, with 13 tracks stretching the limit a little, although they are all short pop affairs.   And yeah, it is a strange album for sure, and won't be at the top of everyone's list. It's not the top of mine either, but I will say that as a throwback to an era which never existed kind of sound, this certainly hits the mark.   Fiona Apple Fetch the Boltcutters This is one I only just got around too, released back in April. Fiona Apple is someone I've dabbled with in the past, and someone I knew about, but not someone I paid much attention to musically. So when I was faced with album, not knowing all that much about her previous work, you can probably sympathise that this very atypical, bizarre album hit me like a train.   And I loved it. Musically, it's like a part-improvised, percussion poetry session. Fiona cries out, scratches, scowls, shouts, and rages on the topics of bullying, sexual assault, confinement, lies, truth, friendship and more. It's angry, yet oddly darkly humorous   What's more, this album is largely recorded on the fly and at home, and that could be a criticism but it really isn't. It helps breed the unpredictability, the explosiveness, the sudden changes in rhythm, tempo and keys. I hear shades of Joni Mitchell here, of Suzanne Vega, even of something completely different like J Dilla or Sharon Van Etten. It's a maddening yet exciting mix of music. It's not polished, it's not perfect, and that's what makes it great. There's no messing around here, and for an album about getting the boltcutters and cutting yourself free from whatever prison you've created, the sound does exactly what Fiona preaches – it breaks free of the usual routines and structures and offers something unique, insightful, and certainly divisive. I love it, and would urge you check it out, that's Fiona Apple with Fetch The Boltcutters.     And that's all for the Pulse for now here on BPM Pod. You can find all of the releases I just mentioned on BPM Pod dot com, and on the social channels (Facebook and Instagram). And you can read more on BPM Pod dot com, and revisit all of the previous episodes there, or on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to your podcasts.   On the next episode, we'll have part two of the extended podcast with Chris Weinhardt, so stay tuned for that.   Stay safe and stay lucky, and thank you for listening to and supporting BPM Pod.    

„Míval jsem vlastně jen dvě nálady – buď jsem se dané věci smál, anebo jsem se z ní cítil podrážděný a otrávený,“ tvrdil Mike Hadreas, americký hudebník vystupující přes deset let pod pseudonymem Perfume Genius. Jeho pátá řadová deska Set My Heart on Fire Immediately ovšem zachytila umělcovu hudební a především osobnostní proměnu. Odráží se v ní nejen nová láska nalezená v tanci, ale i touha být s lidmi.

The New Yorker’s Jia Tolentino has been following the artist Mike Hadreas, who records as Perfume Genius, since his first album; he has just released his fifth, “Set My Heart on Fire Immediately.” He sings about his life and his sexuality in a style that evokes Elvis Presley and Roy Orbison—simultaneously vulnerable and swaggering. “That’s the music I’ve listened to my whole life . . . but felt like there was always not completely room for me in the music,” he tells Tolentino. Plus, Anthony Lane, having completed an extensive review of plague-theme cinema, shares three picks with David Remnick: a German silent picture nearly a century old, a gritty piece of realism from the golden age of Hollywood, and a more recent film that everybody’s been watching these last three months.

Mike Hadreas erlebte bereits in jungen Jahren Gewalt, Drogensucht und gesellschaftliche Ächtung – letzteres, weil er sich schon sehr früh offen zu seiner Homosexualität bekannte. Als Perfume Genius wandelte sich Hadreas vom schüchternen Singer-Songwriter zum Pop-Chamäleon. Sein neues Album heißt „Set My Heart On Fire Immediately“. Christian Lehner hat Mike Hadreas via Videokonferenz in dessen Wohnsitz in Los Angeles interviewt.

Because Of You, We Survived the Cold of Winter Snow by Cian Ó Cíobháin 24/12/16 Galway, Ireland Label: goo.gl/6VXilY Twitter: twitter.com/shockws All Podcasts: https://goo.gl/bkdZyY 1. Edward Williams - The Sex Life Of The Fern Strange tune title? Perhaps … but not when you realise its context. It's from the soundtrack to David Attenborough's 1979 BBC series ‘Life On Earth'. 2. John Martyn - Head and Heart Achingly beautiful loves song from John Martyn's 1971 classic LP ‘Bless the Weather'. 3. Shelleyan Orphan - Beamheart Caroline Crawley, the lead singer of Shelleyan Orphan, sadly passed away some months back. I was familiar with her vocal work on This Mortal Coil's LP ‘Blood', but had never taken the time out to explore any of her back catalogue, outside of her contributions to Ivo-Watts Russell's 4AD super-group. 4. Perfume Genius - Mr Petersen Taken from Mike Hadreas' debut LP from 2010, this is a song about a teacher he had in his formative years, who had a major influence on him, but later committed suicide. 5. Shiny Two Shiny - Moment To Moment Thanks to Mary Maguire for introducing me to this band. Based in Liverpool, they released 1 album and 2 EPs in the mid-80s. 6. The Strange Walls - Grey To Red ‘…. Won't Last' by New York-based The Strange Walls on Alrealon Musique is one of my albums of the year. 7. Worldbackwards - (Leaving Me) Now Minimal wave quartet from London who initially only released their music on cassettes (there are four of them, all C60s). 8. Peter Gordon & David Van Tieghem - Winter (feat Kathy Acker) Peter Gordon is the bandleader of Love Of Live Orchestra, a multi-genre downtown New York collective that has counted Arthur Russell, David Byrne, Arto Lindsay, Phillip Glass and Laurie Anderson amongst its members. He sent me a thank you email VIA his publicist for playing this one so often on my radio show this year. 9. Thomas Leer - Private Plane Amazing debut single from 1978 from Thomas Leer. 10. Lives Of Angels - Imperial Motors Lost classic from husband/wife duo Gerald and Catherine O' Connell, taken from their 1983 album ‘Elevator To Eden'. Shades of Can, Suicide, Depeche Mode, New Order. 11. Rollers/Sparkers - Kodiak They're from Dublin, they are responsible for my album of the year - ‘Interior Ministry' - and by album, I mean a coherent collection of amazing songs that make complete sense in the way that they're sequenced on the LP. 12. Let's Eat Grandma - Eat Shiitake Mushrooms I believe that this precocious teenage girl duo from Norwich are still in school (only aged 16-17 when they wrote this) and yet…. how on earth did they come up with possibly the best pop-song of 2016? 13. Scraps - Dreams Brisbane's self-styled ‘dehydrated disco queen' released a corker of an album - called ‘TTNIK' - on the always essential Not Not Fun label this year. 14. Blood Orange - Desirée This was my highlight from ‘Freetown Sound', an album which features more great female vocalists, many who previously were unknown to me. 15. The Paradise - In Love With You Made by Alan Braxe (who had a hand in Stardust's ‘Music Sounds Better With You' with Thomas Bangalater and ‘Intro/Running' with Fred Falke) with Romuald Louverjon back in 2003, I have Mike Smalle to thank for introducing me to this 6am afterparty classic. 16. Ruby & The Romantics - Baby Come Home Akron, Ohio R&B 60s group who became big in Belgium when this one became a staple on the Popcorn scene. 17. Liz Damon's Orient Express - 1900 Yesterday Debut single from Liz Damon's Hawaiian band came out in 1971 but I have my truelove to thank for introducing me to it recently. 18. Cocteau Twins - Half-Gifts 20 years ago the Cocteau Twins released their final album ‘Milk & Kisses' and when it came out I recall many of us being completely besotted with this song. Liz Fraser's biographer speculated that songs from this period may be about Jeff Buckley, but the lady herself has neither confirmed or denied this.

The Perfume Genius track “Queen” was one of my favorite songs of last year and the song is the jewel in the crown of Perfume Genius‘ triumphant third record Too Bright. I caught Mike Hadreas aka Perfume Genius behind the Vogue Theatre when he was in town opening for Belle & Sebastian. He had snuck out back for a quick vape and I got him to talk about his bubbling anger, his growth as a songwriter, the fact that every article about him uses the word "sexuality" and more.

Lower Dens leader Jana Hunter is a frequent Talkhouse contributor and a fine writer — in April of 2015, she wrote a widely read piece for Cosmopolitan titled "What It's Like to Be a Female Musician When You Don't Identify as a Woman." And Perfume Genius, aka Mike Hadreas, has said he's pretty fluid with gender too. But that was only one reason why we invited these two to sit down and chat for the Talkhouse Music Podcast. Lower Dens and Perfume Genius make some of the most interestingly beautiful music around, and Hunter and Hadreas are two intriguing, well spoken people. Sure, they talked about "gay/gender stuff" but they also just related as musicians — and talked candidly about inspiration, how to conduct yourself on stage, the perils of social media and dealing with hate mail. And they related as people too — they talk about dealing with email, the awesomeness of Rihanna, their methods for quitting smoking and why Clark Kent is hot. Hadreas and Hunter had met only briefly once before, but they're fans of each other's music, and when they sat down at the Talkhouse Music mikes, they hit it off immediately — in fact, almost from the start these two very thoughtful people were giggling like teenagers. They do have one big difference, though: Hadreas believes in everything, but Hunter doesn't believe in anything.
