June music preview: Janelle Monáe ushers in The Age Of Pleasure and Killer Mike makes a long-awaited return
It’s been eight years since Trevor Powers released an album under his electro-dream pop project Youth Lagoon, and despite the breakneck-speed upheaval of the past near-decade, his sound is still as meditative and subdued as before. Back in 2016, Powers opined that there was “nothing left to say” with Youth Lagoon, but across’s 10 soft and wandering tracks he’s found plenty.
Centered around Powers’ twinkling upright piano, whispery vocals, and the spring of a CR78 drum machine, the project reflects his own interpolation of dusty, dreamy Americana—an aesthetic world where drug abuse, suicidality, and generational challenges float in and out of eyeline.
