What great music did you hear about/discover this past week? Share with us your MUSIC MONDAY FINDS!
My Finds:
I have a lot of respect for Youth Lagoon. Trevor Powers is a 22-year-old musician who suffers from chronic anxiety. He was finally able to visit a counselor, however, because of personal funds, had to choose between producing a record and continuing to see his counselor. He chose music, and here we have Youth Lagoon.
“The bulk of Hibernation’s emotive force arises from a cathartic purge of [Power's] self-scrutiny: songs that deal directly with the isolation he felt little less than year ago are at once disaffected and therapeutic.”

Many of the songs on the album seem to start slowly and build up to very anthemic endings, to the point that they feel almost cathartic. Is writing/recording therapeutic for you?

Writing is very therapeutic for me.
