I talk kind of like from the roof of my mouth and my nose. GENIUS: Well, I notice when I sing from my diaphragm and when I don’t, and it’s like, I’m talking from a deeper place now.

HABITS: That’s what you think is happening? GENIUS: Well that’s what I’m worried about. I guess she was speaking, air quotes, “wrong.” Her voice did sound different when I talked to her, but I just didn’t really think about it because we hadn’t talked in five years. I talked to her on the phone and she was like, “Do you notice anything different about me?’’ I was like, “No, I don’t.” Apparently she had a speech impediment before. I don’t think she’ll read this, but I didn’t talk to my cousin for a long time-maybe five years or something. But I’m like, “It’s my talking voice too.” Like, I need to learn how to talk differently? Is that what’s hurting my voice? He basically told me there’s nothing wrong with me, except that I should go to a speech therapist, like a vocal coach. I went to the doctor and I really dislike him. I’ve been having a problem with my voice, singing and losing my talking voice and my singing voice, and I don’t know what is happening. PERFUME GENIUS: Let me say something real quick. And on a recent (very) sunny day, the two musicians talked about singing, songwriting, and what it’s like making art in a capitalist hellscape.-ALEX WEISS Hand Habits, the moniker of musician and guitarist Meg Duffy, just released their new EP, Sugar the Bruise. A long time collaborator of Perfume Genius, Hand Habits also fits into this same space, crafting strange, slightly avant-garde pop that’s still at home on a playlist with Phoebe Bridgers. Since then, he’s continued to create haunting, singular pop that feels simultaneously on trend yet apart from his peers.

At the time, his music didn’t quite fit into the culture, with its lush pianos and lo-fi melodies, but it nevertheless became an undeniable part of the zeitgeist. The artist, whose real name is Mike Hadreas, has been releasing his own brand of outsider pop since 2010.
