Queer Jams of the Week: New Music From Lucy Dacus, Perfume Genius, Chloe Moriondo & More
Welcome to Queer Jams of the Week, a weekly roundup of new music from LGBTQ+ artists including Lucy Dacus, Perfume Genius and more.
“Ankles” is unlike much of Dacus’ previous work — guitars are swapped for string sections, sonic spareness for grandiosity — but still retains the core tenet of her artistry: writing singular experiences into practically universal songs. “It’s a Mirror” bathes itself in themes of isolation and loneliness, while letting the musicality carry out bigger and bolder sounds for the artist born Mike Hadreas, as he waxes poetic on the seemingly unbreakable cycle of paralyzing angst. Instead, Moriondo aims for earnestness, landing bolts of truth directly into your heart as she reels from the “first big breakup” of her life through effortless metaphor, simple production and a gorgeous vocal performance.
