Listen to the studio recording. The entire song is recorded in the process I described below, EXCEPT after around the 2 minute mark where he mentions taking the dark parts. Compare after the 2 minute marker to his live performance. Identical sounds. Because that's his voice. It's not autotune tricks, it's an editing choice that happens to add sometimes much needed depth to solo acts/singers. Just because you don't think it sounds natural, doesn't make it bad. It's a style. He's an artist. Deal.
I was unaware that they were gay, either way the lead has a beautiful voice, and all together create perfect sounding music! Keep moving on, Perfume Genius.
Seems really down to earth which really what makes me interested in his music. Seems like a cool dude, and good musician, who just so happens to be gay and embraces it. Kudos to him.
"everybody called bullshit on me that i haven't seen arpad's work before. i've seen lots of work like that in my life, but i haven't seen his. i think the production values are too high. i like it to be a little less nice." me 2, bebe
would you say "i can't wait until being black is a non-issue"? why do you not want us to talk about what we are? what is the standard for "non-issue"? a very specific identity based on white, heterosexual, capitalist values? okay, no thanks-- let's keep being an issue.

His music is pure gold for the soul

He's like a sad gay puppy; you just want to hug him and fall in love with honesty.

Didn't know that Simon from Misfits could sing.
@trainwreckhavoc Being gay will stop being an issue when people stop referring to gay men as gay men and just start referring to them simply as men.

His boyfriend is cute!
