Artist: Youth Lagoon
Found 1172 posts matching Youth Lagoon:
Trying to keep consistent with the posts that I put together last year, this is my list of favourite new artists that I found in 2011. One caveat worth mentioning, a lot of these artists may have existed pre-2011, but only came on to my radar last year. Although this post really should have been published at the end of last year, I'm glad I'm finally getting to it. Stream them in playlist form via Spotify , Rdio and Grooveshark . [...]
After the excitement and the commotion in the newness of the year passes, it's a dreadful few weeks of purgatory; a period of reconciling the lingering effects of the year just passed with the swirling sweet nothings from the year to come, as you wait for it to finally take off one way or the other. Days pass with a peek of an eye, waiting to detect any hint of some spark. I've mentioned it before , but sometimes it takes only that one thing for the domino effect to push all else forward and freshen the momentary staleness [...]
2011 was an exciting year for Andy Plank. He began his career in writing, the Packers won the Super Bowl , he rediscovered Comedy Bang Bang and he got big red glasses. He spent most of the 365 days between January 1 and December 31 listening to albums that came out early in the discographies of Weezer, Modest Mouse, Blink 182 and Jimmy Eat World. Every once in a while, however, he stopped being so bitter about all of his favorite bands that crumpled and faltered under the pressure of becoming popular and he listened to a few new [...]
Ben Gibbard of Death Cab For Cutie / photo by Dave Lichterman Quite possibly invigorated after his recent split with Zooey Deschanel, Death Cab For Cutie front man Ben Gibbard has rallied the troops and will be playing a slew of dates around the globe beginning in February. The North Amercian leg of the tour will kick off in April and feature Youth Lagoon opening a number of performances, including their May 13 stop at The Paramount in Seattle. Not only that, but the US and Canadian dates will feature [...]
Weather permitting Boise-based Daily Choice baller Youth Lagoon is headlining Neumos tonight. With the also just announced spring tour where they'll be opening for Death Cab For Cutie and wrap up in Seattle at the Paramount Theater on May 13th, Youth Lagoon's Trevor Powers is already thinking out to summer. Earlier this month for the song [...]
The dream-pop darlings in Youth Lagoon have produced a beautiful music video for “July,” off debut album The Year Of Hibernation (Fat Possum). “July” brings frontman Trevor Powers’ wistful vocals to the forefront, showcasing the deep emotion behind his (sometimes unintelligible) words. Tyler T. Williams, who also directed the video for YL's “Montana,” worked with [...]
Ben Gibbard and crew will travel the world through June.
Death Cab For Cutie will embark on a major North American tour after they wrap things up in Australia and South East Asia, and they'll get support from Youth Lagoon for the latter part of the tour. Pretty good news, but that's not all. During this unique tour, the band will be joined on stage by members of San Francisco's Magik*Magik Orchestra. They've worked with Death Cab in the past, providing string arrangements for the band during the VH1 Storytellers episode and also taking care of string arrangements on the band's most recent album [...]
Photo by Heather Kaplan Death Cab For Cutie have revealed plans for another leg of North American tour dates behind last year's LP, Codes and Keys . Described as a "one-of-a-kind" tour, each performance will see the band accompanied on stage by members of San Francisco’s Magik*Magik Orchestra. In addition, Youth Lagoon will serve as openers for the second-half of the leg. Following dates in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia in February, the band will launch this 23-date leg in Denver on April 10th. From there, [...]
Atlantic recording group Death Cab for Cutie has announced details of a major North American tour following a string of dates in Australia and South East Asia.

El South by Southwest siempre tiene muchas más bandas en su lineup que la mayoría de los demás festivales, pero eso no los detiene para seguir agregando grupos al evento. Además de las ya confirmadas, se añadieron: Sharon Van Etten, Youth Lagoon, Chairlift, Lana Del Rey, Grimes, Best Coast, Peaking Lights, Of Montreal, M. Ward, Zola Jesus, The War On Drugs, Nite Jewel, y más. Puedes ver el cartel completo del SXSW 2012 aquí .
Youth Lagoon is a tough band to explain. I would probably describe them using words like minimalist, pop and indie...I think the most accurate descriptor though, is AWESOME! I am super curious to hear them live and see what Youth Lagoon is all about. Below are a couple of my favorite songs. -LaJAck Cannons - Youth Lagoon July - Youth Lagoon They will be at Neumos on Thursday, January 19th, get tix here!
