Too Bright

His third album: eleven songs produced with Adrian Utley of Portishead.
Perfume Genius, 2014

Too Bright was produced by Adrian Utley and Ali Chant and released by Matador on September 23, 2014 (Stereogum had September 22; the difference is probably US against UK). Its songs are "I Decline", "Queen", "Fool", "No Good", "My Body", "Don't Let Them In", "Grid", "Longpig", "I'm a Mother", "Too Bright" and "All Along", with a bonus, "Thing"; a 10th anniversary edition adds three more. It reached 19 on the US Independent chart, 10 on the Alternative chart and 26 in Flanders. NME gave it 8 out of 10, the A.V. Club and Entertainment Weekly an A-minus.
