Cate Le Bon and Perfume Genius: ‘I Think I Knew’

Cate Le Bon Perfume GeniusCate Le Bon just shared the second well-matched duet of the week with “I Think I Knew.” Where yesterday’s Beal and Marshall tune found familiar ground in old soul music, Perfume Genius’ Mike Hadreas counters the resolute role his singing partner plays on this one, allowing more emotional nuance into the cut where one might expect a stone-voiced Lee Hazlewood or the like to deepen its foundation. The result becomes both Hadreas, Le Bon, and, most importantly, the song. “I Think I Knew” is due out November 12th on the Noah Georgeson-produced LP, Mug Museum.
