sonsofvipers Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 "Wondrous Bughouse, Powers' sophomore album (due March 5 worldwide via Fat Possum), was spawned from what he describes as "becoming more fascinated with the human psyche and where the spiritual meets the physical world." During the time he wrote, Powers became intrigued with the metaphysical universe and blending those ideas with pop music. "Youth Lagoon is something so personal to me because writing music is how I sort my thoughts, as well as where I transfer my fears," explains Powers. "My mental state is usually pretty sporadic... a lot of this record was influenced by a fear of mortality but embracing it at the same time. Realizing that human life is only great because it is temporary. Experimenting with ideas about dimensions. I'm not a gifted spear, so explaining things is difficult for me. But music always makes sense." 01. Through Mind and Back02. Mute03. Attic Doctor04. The Bath05. Pelican Man06. Dropla07. Sleep Paralysis08. Third Dystopia09. Raspberry Cane10. Daisyphobia" http://www.fatpossum.com/news/298 So excited! The Year of Hibernation has been my favorite album of the past couple years. I can't wait for the sophomore release.

cwhitmuzik Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 This album is really super cool. Really psychedelic and layered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PC Music Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I got a copy of Year of Hibernation from Insound this week and the A-side sounds so bad. There's an assload of surface noise the whole side. And there's a scratch on the B-side that makes it pop for two of the songs. I emailed them on Wednesday but didn't hear anything back.

My friend's royal blue copy sounds almost live no problems what so ever! What color is yours? This album is really super cool. Really psychedelic and layered "this album"!? has it leaked?

PC Music Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 It's just black. I figure it's some kind of defect which is why I'm trying to exchange it. Surface noise is especially ruinous on an album like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3arl Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Not feeling this as much as I did Year of Hibernation. Hopefully after a couple more listens it'll sink in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throwgncpr Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Not feeling this as much as I did Year of Hibernation. Hopefully after a couple more listens it'll sink in. Same for me really. It's decent, and definitely Youth Lagoon, but a few of the songs don't really grab me. Need to listen more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santoro77 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 this album is phenomenal! It's sad to see Youth Lagoon fans not enjoying this. The production on this album is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Yorkified Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I like it a bit more than I did. It's surely a grower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
