SXSW 2012: Youth Lagoon perform “Cannons”

Posted by Melissa Locker on
Trevor Powers burst on to the indie music scene last year when he released a searing and mature single called “July” via a Bandcamp page. The 23-year-old Boise, Idaho native, who records as Youth Lagoon, was snapped up by a record label and followed the stunning song with an equally amazing full-length debut album, “The Year of Hibernation.” On the success of the album and a string of earnestly intense live performances, he has quickly risen to the ranks of indie darling. Youth Lagoon was on everyone’s SXSW list of must-see bands and we were excited to have them grace our stage. Trevor, who was accompanied by a guitarist, played a powerful set of his crashing and personal songs during the Idaho Showcase.
