Biography

Trevor Powers, whose stage name is Youth Lagoon, began writing his debut album The Year of Hibernation in 2010. Based around the idea of psychological dysphoria, Powers tried to document the trails of his mind through songs of minimalism and hypnotic ambience. Powers later described his writing process as “my mind communicating with me, not the other way around…it can take me to scary places but I’ve realized those bizarre thoughts I have don’t define me.” After signing with Mississippi-based label Fat Possum Records in 2011, he toured much of the following year before going back into solitude to write.

Wondrous Bughouse, Powers’ sophomore album (due March 5 worldwide via Fat Possum), was spawned from what he describes as “becoming more fascinated with the human psyche and where the spiritual meets the physical world.” During the time he wrote, Powers became intrigued with the metaphysical universe and blending those ideas with pop music.

“Youth Lagoon is something so personal to me because writing music is how I sort my thoughts, as well as where I transfer my fears,” explains Powers.

“My mental state is usually pretty sporadic…a lot of this record was influenced by a fear of mortality but embracing it at the same time. Realizing that human life is only great because it is temporary. Experimenting with ideas about dimensions. Music always makes sense.”

    Just discovered this artist and I can't remember the last time I loved an album so much during/after only one listen. The Year of Hibernation will probably change my life.

    now I think I even like it more than Year of Hibernation. [2] yeah, the album is a huge grower. something about it just requires many listens until you finally realize its complete, utter brilliance.

    at first listen I was very disappointed, having only liked Dropla and Mute. but ever since the album has grown on me immensely. it's a great album if you take your time with it. now I think I even like it more than Year of Hibernation.

    It struck me last night that I should start exploring the music of Youth Lagoon, so I started this morning. I wasn''t disappointed ^_^ The year of Hibernation is actually a great album to slowly wake up to...and possibly wind down to, too!

    I don't know what you guys are talking about, I listened to The Year of Hibernation before Wondrous Bughouse and I enjoyed it a lot. But I think I might like Wondrous Bughouse better.
