Secret Sounds Presents - Youth Lagoon - Wading in Australian waters in February. The brainchild of 22-year-old Trevor Powers, YOUTH LAGOON produces beautiful melancholy melodies. Debut album The Year of Hibernation draws from the dark depths of Powers struggles with anxiety, love, heartbreak and, well, life.
The eerily nostalgic undertones of this haunting collection draw happy comparisons with James Blake, Caribou and Radiohead without being derivative. For Powers the act of writing is cathartic, allowing him to reflect on himself.
«The title of the record describes its world. These are songs about alternately hunkering down and hiding, and heading out into the world to explore and report back on what you’ve found. Powers is very much an innocent here, a kid with an ear for poetry who mixes striking images with the occasional groaner.» 8.4/10 Pitchfork.com
«Delivered in a frail squawk recalling Seattle singer-songwriter Perfume Genius, his coming-of-age songs carve intuitive, idiosyncratic paths (spidery guitar, buzzing electronics) to mountaintop indie-rock catharsis.» Spin
«Youth Lagoon isn’t me,» says Powers. «It’s merely a part of me. I was in and out of different bands in high school and always tried to define myself by what music I played. I tried to find a sense of meaning by being in a band. But it wasn’t until this last year - when I realised I was more than just music - that I was able to create music that means something to me. And that is Youth Lagoon.»
«It is both a captivating listen and a terrifying one: Powers was 22 this year, but his voice carries all the experience of a man thrice his age.» 8/10 BBC Music
Translated to a live arena, YOUTH LAGOON is mesmerizing. Joined on stage by guitarist Logan Hyde the tracks come to life in full. They will be joined on tour by 2012 triple j Next Crop Artist Oliver Tank whose creative soundscapes have seen him nominated for an FBi SMAC Award and win a trip to Iceland as part of their Northern Lights Competition where he performed at Iceland Airwaves Festival.
