THE YEAR OF HIBERNATION - to be released digitally on
July 5th (soon to be followed by 10" vinyl)
One of our main goals at The C.O.T. is to help Boise-area bands and artists grow their audience and succeed. We are not so sure Youth Lagoon even needs our help. In a time when teenage pop stars can instantly become famous for having a notoriously bad song, Boise's Youth Lagoon, a project of Trevor Powers, shows that you can quickly gain attention the old-fashioned way, by making damn good music. In anticipation of the July 5th release of its album "The Year of Hybernation" on Juno Beach Records, YL's music has been getting a lot of deserved attention and praise from a respectable amount of indie music blogs and websites. This includes being featured on Pitchfork's "Forkcast," which is a pretty big deal. We won't get into too much detail describing Youth Lagoon's sound, this post includes a schmorgasboard of links to places that do just that. Just listen to the music. The first two songs we heard and thoroughly enjoyed are on the "July + Cannons" two-song single. Click here to watch a video for the song Cannons on our "videos" page. Now you can listen to a third YL track called "Montana" on BIRP.fm right here. Montana by Youth Lagoon
