This beginning of the year shines together with the artist Youth Lagoonthe acclaimed alias of the composer Trevor Powerswho announced the release of his next album Rarely Do I Dreamwith the lead single “Speed Freak”.
Rarely Do I Dreamrepresents the most ambitious and enriching work of Youth Lagoon until now. It is a sonic gem that mixes home recordings, rugged guitars, warm synthesizers, elegant pianos, explosive drums and the captivating melodies of Powerscreating a feeling similar to an old photograph coming to life in a mysterious and distant future.
A clear example of this look at the sound world of what this album will be is “Speed Freak”along with a video directed by Tyler T. Williams, makes music become Polaroid of life itself; It captures every sensation of the small details of everyday life, treasures that accompany us with the warmth and electricity of everything we overlook. He single is a tribute to the chaotic stages of life, exploding into a spectacle technicolor post punk, while his voice, authentic and enveloping, moves between electronica and amazing rock.
Powers transforms his music into a sonic connection with the past, breaking the limits of rock, as if they were homemade tapes rewinding and merging with his songs.
