YOUTH LAGOON - RARELY DO I DREAM - RECORD

YOUTH LAGOON: It was this time 2 years ago that we were headed into the holidays, getting ready for the return of Youth Lagoon with the announcement of his 4th album, Heaven Is a Junkyard. That would go on glowing reviews, including Youth Lagoon's 3rd Best New Music from Pitchfork. Here we are again, just 3 weeks shy of announcing the 5th album, Rarely Do I Dream, Youth Lagoon's most comprehensive and audacious album to date. It's a treasure trove of home movies, twangy fuzz guitars, sun-bleached synths, classical pianos, blown-out drums, and Powers' spellbinding melodies, all which feel like an old photograph that's been reanimated in a strange and distant future. - Rooted in love and childhood memoir, Rarely Do I Dream is a triumph of American gothic imagination - where storybook innocence dissolves into a radioactive billow of teenage drifters, drug-addled hustlers, and old-world folklore. Drifting between propulsive electronica and hallucinatory rock songs, Powers' singular voice always glows front and center as the neon road sign pointing home.
