Trevor Powers, the mastermind behind Youth Lagoon, unearthed childhood home movies in 2023, which inspired his latest album, "Rarely Do I Dream." The record is a vivid collage of memories, blending personal nostalgia with mythic Western elements. Musically diverse, it features varied styles and instruments, creating a dynamic soundscape that reflects both vulnerability and confidence. Powers’ lyrical storytelling is poignant, capturing a sense of place and emotion while honing in on themes of the American West. The production, led by Powers and collaborator Rodaidh McDonald, drives the album forward with an energetic, outlaw-like spirit.
On Rarely Do I Dream, Youth Lagoon's newest LP, Powers collages these remnants of the past into a sonic scrapbook that sets the Powers clan beside the diner waitresses, devils, and detectives of a fabled American West.
Produced by Powers and collaborator Rodaidh McDonald, Rarely Do I Dream barrels forward with an outlaw's velocity, referencing Western themes but transcending genres.
