Words by Tom Johnson Let's get this out the way; of course it's different. Of course it's moved on significantly from its predecessor; from the bedroom-produced, lofi, wide-eyed wonder of Year Of Hibernation . You know this already. Look at that album cover, look at how the live shows have progressed. I mean, come on, it's called Wondrous Bughouse for gawd sake. It's a giant leap forward from the debut Youth Lagoon LP in just about every way possible. Let's recognise that, deal [...]
Week's Top Releases The Albums You Need to Know About Every Week This week is a clever mixed-bag of releases, with sounds ranging from highly experimental, to hardcore punk, to bubblegum pop. Several of the bands below have tweaked their sound in ways that may surprise you, challenging both themselves and their listeners. Most notably, Thurston Moore of indie icons Sonic Youth is debuting his new band, and, of course, we've been dying to get our paws on the new Youth Lagoon [...]
FatPossum Youth Lagoon “Mute”
O segundo disco de Youth Lagoon, Wondrous Bughouse , chega às lojas no próximo dia 5 de Março mas entretanto é já possível ouvir o disco na nossa muito querida e estimada NPR. Podem ouvir o referido disco clicando aqui . Há que dizer que "Dropla" e "Mute" já tinham deixado boa impressão não há muito tempo . Resta perceber o mostra o restante disco. E basicamente é isso. Não há muito mais para dizer. Amanhã se não tiverem nada que ouvir em casa ou no trabalho podem agradecer-nos. Ou insultar-nos. O que vale é a intenção. Conforme [...]
Trevor Powers es el nombre real del que se encarga de darle vida a Youth Lagoon , una de las promesas más interesantes de la música actual. Con solo 22 años, este post-adolescente lanzó en el 2011 The Year of Hibernation que, particularmente, me pareció una de las producciones del 2011. El chico que nació en San Diego hizo que la crítica se interesara por él no solo porque su música es genial, sino también porque los tópicos que toca son muy diversos que van desde la disforia o varios problemas mentales. Todo gira [...]
If you, like us, have been on the edge of your seat waiting for Youth Lagoon's Wondrous Bughouse to drop since you heard amazing teaser singles "Dropla" and "Mute," we're psyched to tell you the wait's over - courtesy NPR, you can stream the record now. Trevor Powers isn't fooling around - the record's ten tracks clock in at just over fifty minutes, and every one seems to contain its own small but fully actualized weird-pop world. From the creepy-but-tender moments of tracks like "Attic Doctor" to the intricate, tightly interwoven instrumentals of "Sleep Paralysis" and [...]
Tweet Youth Lagoon, the soft voiced one man powerhouse that is Boise, Idaho's Trevor Powers has taken out the first number one spot of 2013 with the slow building hypnotic killer 'Dropla', the first single from his new record due next month Wondrous Bughouse. The first chart of the year is arguably the best set of songs ever assembled first up in our five years of doing this stuff. Youth Lagoon is [...]
This isn't supposed to read like some smart-ass ' huh huh huh told yurr so!' post, but it just so happens that we were one of the first sites to cover the music of Trevor Powers. We fell hard for his Youth Lagoon guise when there were just two demo's up on his Soundcloud page; I tell you this not for the aforementioned reason but because it goes a little way to showing just how far his artistry has come since. We didn't cover his music back then so we could [...]
Boise, Idaho native Trevor Powers (stage name, Youth Lagoon ) burst onto the scene out of nowhere in 2011 with his stunning, yet overlooked debut The Year Of Hibernation, a trippy collection of tunes full of ambiance, child-like innocence, and vocals drawn out and nearly difficult to decipher. He returns into form, yet more mature and expansive for his upcoming March 5 release, Wondrous Bughouse. As what was present in Hibernation, "Mute" builds within the six minutes as the the harping synths drowns Powers' voice, crashing onto the percussion, and creating an adventure in the process. It is more progressive [...]
No es la primera vez que les hablamos de Youth Lagoon y no es la primera vez que les digo que me parece uno de los chicos más talentosos dentro de la escena. Sabe manejar a la perfección los sintetizadores, sabe de instrumentos, las letras que crea están bastante bien y los ritmos, más que importante en su estilo musical, son espectaculares. Me recuerda a MGMT cuando todavía valía la pena lo que hacían (que es lo mismo que decir "en el lanzamiento de Oracular Spectacular "). La primera producción que lanzó The Year [...]
![YOUTH LAGOON RELEASES NEW SINGLE, DROPLA [FREE MP3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4724437_lg.jpg)
Boise's Youth Lagoon 's debut LP, The Year of Hibernation, stole coveted spots on nearly every Best Of List in 2012; the music of Youth Lagoon is a lesson in the power of humility through vulnerable melody. Trevor Powers has announced his follow-up LP, Wonderous Bughouse out March 5th on Fat Possum. Today he releases the lead single, "Dropla." Listen and download the track below and check out the whimsical artwork (featured above).
Still staring at the world with that wide-eyed sense of wonder that so captured us both on and before his debut LP, Hibernation, Trevor Powers returns in his Youth Lagoon guise to melt our heart all over again wih Dropla, the first cut from his March-released LP Wondrous Bughouse. The sense of bedroom isolation that imprinted itself all over Hibernation isn't obviously present here; almost as if Trevor cast those demons aside on his previous record and has allowed himself to stumble out into the blinding sunshine of [...]

Uscirà il 5 marzo per Fat Possum il nuovo disco di Youth Lagoon . Titolo: "Wondrous Bughouse". Youth Lagoon: nuovo disco pubblicato su Indie For BUNNIES
Youth Lagoon in un’inedita dimensione bucolica e agreste suona dal vivo per Deer Lodge The Hunt , dal suo album uscito lo scorso anno (e finito tra i nostri migliori 10 del 2011 ) per Fat Possum.
Der 22jährige Trevor Powers, der sich hinter dem Musikprojekt Youth Lagoon verbirgt, hatte ein langes Jahr. Nicht nur, weil er ohne Pause auf Tour war oder versucht einen verrückten Traum zu verfolgen, sondern wegen des Lebens an sich. Dem Leben eines Kindes, das aufs College geht, sich verliebt, sich mit einem gebrochenen Herzen herumschlägt und [...] [[ This is a content summary only.

Youth Lagoon es el nombre con el que Trevor Powers, un chico de 22 años nativo de Boise, Idaho, ha decidido presentar al mundo su sonido creado a partir de instrumentos electrónicos y en la soledad de su habitación. Su primer álbum, The Year of Hibernation , formó parte de la lista de discos que nos sorprendieron este año y por muy buenas razones, pues la vibra etérea e intensa de sus temas contiene una intimidad que pocos músicos pueden igualar, especialmente en su primer intento. El músico acaba de presentar su nuevo [...]
Trevor Powers, mejor conocido como Youth Lagoon , estará de gira por todo Estados Unidos en el mes de abril, anunciándolo el día de ayer por medio de Pitchfork. Para esto nosotros no prestamos mucha atención sobre fechas en México (porque una vez cada sexenio llegan a traer bandas así), pero para fortuna de todos, resulta que en su apretada agenda hubo espacio para ofrecer un concierto el próximo 8 de abril del 2012 en el ya conocido pequeño gran festival, el Indie-O Fest. Esto debido a lo aclamado que se volvió su álbum The Year [...]
The good word travels fast when it comes to Youth Lagoon (@youthlagoon). Though the debut album from Boise, Idaho's Trevor Powers only dropped at the end of September, the line outside of Mercury Lounge strectched all the way down the block before the first of his two sold-out shows beginning on Monday night. Australian trio Young Magic (@itsyoungmagic) started the night off with a short set of world music-inspired songs accented with ethereal vocals. The group's music is quite literally off-beat, focusing on deep, bass-y drums [...]
