Trevor Powers (aka Youth Lagoon) is an American musician from Boise, Idaho. Powers was active as Youth Lagoon from 2010 to 2016. Youth Lagoon's music was described as neo-psychedelia, and included elements of Americana and experimental. Youth Lagoon's debut album, The Year of Hibernation, was released in September 2011. Based on minimalism and hypnotic ambience melded with atmospheric and electronic elements, the debut explored themes such as psychological dysphoria and mental distress. Powers' second album, Wondrous Bughouse, was released in March 2013. It was spawned from what he described as "becoming more fascinated with the human psyche and where the spiritual meets the physical world." During the time he composed the album, Powers became intrigued with the metaphysical universe and blending those ideas with pop music. Powers' tour in support of Wondrous Bughouse was cut short due to the death of a close friend. Powers's third album, Savage Hills Ballroom, was released in September 2015. However, in February 2016, Powers announced on Twitter that his Youth Lagoon project was concluding. In May 2018, Powers announced his return to music by issuing a personal letter along with the single "Playwright", his first song release since 2015. The letter elaborated on Power's self-titled project, highlighting the project as a new work. Powers' music has been described as electronic and experimental with elements of pop.
