Following the success of 2011’s The Year of Hibernation – Trevor Powers’ bedroom dream-pop debut as Youth Lagoon – Powers is out with his psychedelic sophomore release, Wondrous Bughouse. This time Powers revels in darkness and edgy atmospherics, experimenting with layers to build ambience. Inspired by the human psyche and the intersection of the spiritual and physical realms, the tracks demonstrate a tension and at times, anxiety, as the sophisticated arrangements wind their way. Standouts among the ten singles include opener “Through the Mind and Back”, “Attic Doctor”, and “Raspberry Cane.” – Written by JFelton
