Trevor Powers' solo project from Boise that became a touchstone for early 2010s indie music.
If you're new to Youth Lagoon, start with 'Montana' or '17' from that first album. They capture that particular quiet, inward-looking quality that defined the project.
The project's debut album 'The Year of Hibernation' arrived in 2011 with a particular bedroom-recorded intimacy that felt specific to that moment. Songs like 'Montana' and 'Daydream' had a sparse, atmospheric quality built around Powers' distinctive vocals and simple synth arrangements. Those three Youth Lagoon albums remain a complete chapter before Powers moved on to work under his own name.
Youth Lagoon started as Trevor Powers' solo project in Boise, Idaho around 2010. He released three albums between 2011 and 2015, each gradually expanding beyond the initial lo-fi foundations of 'The Year of Hibernation.' The project went on hiatus after 2016.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
