Savage Hills Ballroom

Trevor Powers drastically strips away the hazy, bedroom-pop reverb that defined his early career to deliver a pristine, crystal-clear collection of avant-pop. The newfound sonic clarity brutally exposes deeply personal, grieving lyrics addressing the recent death of a close friend. Accompanied by prominent brass sections and sleek drum loops, the record marked the final release under the Youth Lagoon moniker before a multi-year hiatus.
