Tonight: Youth Lagoon


Introverted bedroom rocker Trevor Powers is known to have anxiety problems. You can hear it in the crackle of his voice and the distance of the piano keys. It's this type of demeanor that lays the foundation for each song on his beautiful debut LP, Year of Hibernation. But at some carefully planed point, usually half way through, something magical happens. The kick drum begins to pound harder, the shoegazing guitar drone creeps louder, and those once muffled vocals transform into a clear crescendo that's nothing short of confident. And that's pretty much the gist for the 22 year old singer songwriter from Boise Idaho who goes by the moniker Youth Lagoon. Slowly building minimal rock ballads that could inspire the manic depressive likes of Charlie Brown and Eeyore. Tonight you can feel that inspiration with a live show at Neumos. Tickets are only 15 dollars and doors open at 8pm.
