Youth Lagoon – ‘Mute’

Youth Lagoon - 'Mute'.
12 February 2013

Here’s a new track from the Californian dream pop performer Youth Lagoon, in anticipation of his second album, Wondrous Bughouse, out on Mississippi-based label Fat Possum RecordsMarch 18. Led by a an undulant guitar melody, the hallucinating amble of ‘Mute’ is another promising harbinger of what’s to come after the lush composition of January’s ‘Dropla’ followed by the haunting repetition of “you’ll never die”.

Making his mark with the spartan sentimentality of 2011’s The Year of Hibernation, Youth Lagoon promises another romantic escape into his bizarre and world weary universe, while production from Animal Collective and Washed Out producer Ben H. Allen lends a distinctly deviant pop sensibility to his sound. **

July

5 January 2012

Gorgeus video for Youth Lagoon‘s “July” from his debut album The Year of Hibernation released last September. Tyler T Williams takes the camera once again  after the success of that debut video and father-son story for “Montana”.

TYOH became one of the biggest surprises of 2011 (although highly anticipated since last may…) after a very young Trevor Powers pulled out his hat a home-recorded melancholia gem that didn’t sound much like the other 1001 home-made albums released last year.

And because he’s just getting started he’s planned a massive tour starting later this month and taking him all around the globe (Aus, US, EU and Japan) until later next April. Live is always another story, for you to judge.
