Twenty-two year old Trevor Powers, whose musical venture is called Youth Lagoon, has had a long year. Not because he’s been endlessly touring or pursuing some wild dream, but because of life – the life of a kid going to college, being in love, dealing with heartache, and just living. “Youth Lagoon isn’t me,” says Powers, “It’s merely a part of me. I was in and out of different bands in high school and always tried to define myself by what music I played. I tried to find a sense of meaning by being in a band. But it wasn’t until this last year – when I realized I was more than just music – that I was able to create music that means something to me. And that is Youth Lagoon.”
Throughout the course of 2010, Powers began to write an album about things he had a hard time talking about. He claims that when he tries to talk about it to people, he doesn’t make sense. So he wrote an album about it entitled The Year of Hibernation. “For my whole life I’ve dealt with extreme anxiety.” says Powers. “Not anxiety about passing a test or somewhat normal things, but weird.. bizarre things. Things that only I know. I sometimes feel like I’m literally being eaten up inside. So I started writing these songs. Not just songs about my anxiety, but about my past and my present. Songs about memories, and all those feelings that those bring. I know that if I can be honest about what is inside my mind, there will be others that will be able to relate to it.”
Although his music seems somewhat dreamy with the first listen, the lyrics show a different side to the matter. Hidden beneath the melodies is a voice that is eerie yet nostalgic. Powers claims his music is like letting people read his journal. “I don’t think I could ever write a completely happy album. It’s not that I’m not a happy person,” claims Powers, “but I just have too many things in my mind that haunt me.”
“Massive, confident and sure-footed in its build from organ-hum to shouting-down-mountains choruses” Pitchfork
“Located deftly between Animal Collective’s strung-out post-rock and the drum machine-powered sketches of Casiotone For The Painfully Alone” Q

Early architects of the current chillwave scene, Brooklyn duo CHAIRLIFT’s early stated aims included making music for haunted houses, an apt intention for their ethereal sound.
Coming to the attention of the masses after their single Bruises was used on an iPod ad the band have built up a much-deserved cult following.
Chairlift’s new album ‘Something’ will be released on 23rd January on Young Turks. It is the first album since founding member Aaron Pfenning left the band in 2010.
‘[First track Sidewalk Safari] is unabashedly the group’s first real attempt at a big, bright pop song, albeit one cloaked in some typically strange peripheral sounds, the intro building into a galloping bass-rattke reminiscent of Stereolab, from a sonic squiggle of decaying synths.’ – The Guardian
‘check out Patrick Wimberly’s undulating vintage keys, the snaking collage of exotic beats, and Caroline Polacheck’s wicked vocal performance, which alternates between Top 40 sparkle and prog rock. Even the outro sounds like the disintegrating soundtrack to a ’70s B-movie.’ – Billboard

French pan-global psych trio NLF3, two brothers in blood and a third in passion, play drifting yet highly focused instrumental music.
NLF3’s music is cyclical, textured and emotional, halfway between movie scores and innovative psychedelic transgressions. The band cites influences such as Aphex Twin, Fela Kuti, Ennio Morricone or Sonic Youth – mixing a lot of electronics together with a wide variety of instruments.
“We like guitars, amps, feedback, tubes, vintage keys, Kalimba, beats and drones, we like singing and dancing like sorcerers”.
Featuring MMOTHS

SLEIGH BELLS new album Reign Of Terror is out on February 13th, and shortly after, they play London’s Electric Ballroom. Their electronic beats thud with gut-rattling low end; guitars are distorted siren squalls, or heavily gated and thoroughly crunched power chords, or playful, beta-band-esque strums. Lead singer Krauss flips easily from hip-hop hook, to pop power, to sunshined, coquettish coos. The band have experienced a rapid ratcheting up in popularity as word has spread about their brutal, clever pop and compulsive live shows.

After selling out his show at XOYO in record time, SBTRKT announces his biggest London show to date.
His music bursts with fresh ideas, and yet sounds immediately familiar. The sound-patterns and rhythms can easily soundtrack the ecstatic hands in the air dance floor moments as well as reliving the monotony of the morning commute. Its influences are incorporated with subtlety and sophistication: dense enough to interpret, light enough to dance to. House, dubstep, techno, funk and soul – it’s all here – but twisted and turned the only way SBTRKT knows how. The album is full of absolute moments and is sure to soundtrack many a night out, in and everything in between from here on in. Hard to see any electronic album beating this for a very long time…
