‘“We’re both trying to level up all of the time,” Hadreas adds. “Reaching and trying to map out and transcend and get somewhere else.” He describes this as his “core driving thing” and acknowledges that while he might not always know what the destination of that transcendence is, breaking barriers is an identity defining goal in his career.’ i-D interviews Perfume Genius and Kate Wallich as the duo prepared for the New York City premiere of their collaborative dance performance “The Sun Still Burns Here,” at The Joyce Theater through this Sunday, November 17th.
“I had a very bad feeling about myself until right before I put Guyville out and maybe even through part of that, because I just didn’t feel seen. I felt alienated by the culture around me and my girlfriends seemed to like that culture and they seemed to fit in better than I did. Everything I said was inappropriate, or everything I thought or felt seemed out of place or shocking to people, and that made me feel bad about myself for a long time. I fell into the trap of trying to be super pretty and trying to get guys to like me, and I lost a part of myself. So then when I decided to write Guyville, it shocked the hell out of everyone around me because no one even thought I had a voice, let alone what I would say.” Liz Phair on the era of “Exile In Guyville” in a new interview for VICE.
