New Music From Lucy Dacus and Perfume Genius Produced By Blake Mills

by Geoff Stanfield

We interviewed producer and guitarist Blake Mills in Tape Op #115 and for our podcast in 2019. He’s produced newly-released records for both Lucy Dacus – Forever is a Feeling – and Perfume Genius – Glory.

Joseph Lorge, who we interviewed in Tape Op #159, engineered both records and mixed the Perfume Genius LP along with Blake. We also interviewed Meg Duffy, aka Hand Habits, who plays guitar on Glory, in Tape Op #158.

Tape Op is a bi-monthly magazine devoted to the art of record making.
