{"product_id":"perfume-genius_no-shape_2017_wag","title":"NO SHAPE","description":"The splendor of Perfume Genius’s music undoubtedly lies in the extreme vulnerability of his strange, almost awkward songs, but also in their disarming honesty. Rarely has a songwriter so valiantly exposed his rawest wounds, his darkest desires.\nSince the release of his last album, the singer with impeccably manicured nails has bought a house in Seattle's southern suburbs. He's recorded a few duets with Christine and The Queens (Jonathan) and Cate Le Bon (I Think I Knew), and even tackled songs by the Grateful Dead (Lay Me Down recorded with Sharon Van Etten) and the King himself, with a sublime cover of Can't Help Falling In Love for a Prada perfume commercial (of course).\nAt 35, Perfume Genius returns with No Shape, a fourth album produced by Blake Mills (Fiona Apple, Alabama Shakes, John Legend). This time, the musician has strived to renew his songwriting, as he recently explained in a lengthy profile published in the American magazine The Fader: \"This time, I forced myself to go to different chords than the ones I naturally gravitate towards. I wanted to say, 'I'm a musician!' And just go for it!\"\nRecorded in Los Angeles, No Shape is the great album of a blossoming but restless songwriter (\"Did you notice we sleep through the night\/ Did you notice, babe, everything's alright,\" he sings on the track Alan, dedicated to his musician partner). Daring to combine Sade and Leonard Cohen for an ode to erotic asphyxiation (Die For You), strange blues (Run Me Through), or string-illuminated crescendos (Every Night, Choir). Californian Weyes Blood also makes a guest appearance, lending her voice to a verse on Sides. And it's breathtakingly beautiful.","brand":"Perfume Genius","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55388360835416,"sku":null,"price":23897550.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/0744861111313_f3a0340f-d3d6-4864-8478-cbd1f1ca97fa.jpg?v=1765826136","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/perfume-genius_no-shape_2017_wag","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
