Youth Lagoon, the bedroom pop producer from Boise, Idaho, made his stunning debut in 2011 with album, The Year of Hibernation, which featured some beautifully modest and melodic pop songs with an emotional flair sung by what may or may not have sounded like Mickey Mouse. The songs may have seemed sung under the covers most of the time, but they weren't afraid to really become something great when they needed to be.
Trevor Power, aka Youth Lagoon, announced his sophomore effort, curiously titled Wondrous Bughouse and follow up to 2011's Year of Hibernation via Facebook post months ago, but released the first single from it just last week, titled "Dropla". The track features more clear and robust instrumentation and puts a large focus on Power's vocals, where he really wants us to know that we will never die. The more standout approach in the production may seem off-putting to fans of Youth Lagoon's work prior, but progression is natural and everyone has to leave their bedroom sometime.
