With his new album, Wondrous Bughouse, out on Mississippi-based label Fat Possum Records, March 5, Youth Lagoon‘s, Trevor Powers is now streaming the newest addition to his dream pop garrison on NPR.
A journey into a deeply existential mind, it’s comforting to hear that there are still artists out there who have a unique voice and want to stick to it. With a sound that is as wonky as it is alluring, piano and guitar melodies weave in and out of ephemeral synth lines that waver just beyond consciousness, creating a sense of wonderment that is as escapist as it is undeniably human. Stream the record here. **
