Youth Lagoon - Wondrous Bughouse

Earlier today Idaho native Trevor Powers, better known as Youth Lagoon, shared ‘Mute’, a new cut from his forthcoming somophore album Wondrous Bughouse. The follow up to his 2011’s The Year of Hibernation was co-produced by Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Washed Out) and drops on March 18th via Fat Possum.

According to Powers, Wondrous Bughouse is based on the idea of “becoming more fascinated with the human psyche and where the spiritual meets the physical world”.

The new single ‘Mute’ is a slice of catchy psych pop. Listen to it now.
