Last night I stumbled upon this track, and I immediately knew it was worth sharing. Trevor Powers, known by the pseudonym Youth Lagoon, is a 22-year-old from Idaho, USA. During uni holidays he locked himself in a room for some time, and a collection of dreamy, ambient, melancholy, beautiful songs resulted.
'The Year of Hibernation' is a pretty powerful debut album, especially since Trevor self-produced it. It will be released in Australia on 23th September, and I'm pretty pumped to get my hands on it.
Luckily for us, Mr Powers has given a peek into what we can expect. Two tracks from the album, 'Canons' and 'July', can be downloaded for free or streamed on Soundcloud (along with 'Montana').
After being signed by Fat Possum, Youth Lagoon's ditched uni and hit the road with a band, promoting his upcoming album. Hopefully he comes to Australia soon!
Enjoy.
