We gave a gushing review of Youth Lagoon's debut album The Year of Hibernation and rightfully so. And on a gray day like today, their is nothing more fitting than Trevor Powers' mellow and forthright sounds to get you in the right mood for the hustle that the coming weeks will bring as the holidays approach.
Powers lays out the track with a slow yet determined piano and quickly gets to his dreamy vocal layers. For a twenty-two year old kid, Powers is as gifted a lyricist as anyone. This song covers a confrontation with the demons of his past. However, as it builds and builds, it becomes more and more inspirational as he seems to be getting over these demons from his neighboring state. This song is beautiful and it is hard to believe that something so moving could be erected by such a young kid from such an odd place.
