Trevor Powers has unveiled a self-directed music video for Youth Lagoon's new track "Gumshoe (Dracula From Arkansas)," featuring a blend of home movies and archival film clips. This song serves as the fifth and final preview of his upcoming album, Rarely Do I Dream, scheduled for release on February 21. Powers expresses that music, particularly this track, embodies a profound sense of freedom, with lyrics inspired by themes of love and personal struggle, while also reflecting on a memorable compliment he received regarding his music's emotive quality.
Someone said my music makes them feel like they died in the forest, and I've honestly never heard a better compliment. I don't think I have a song that's more suited for that description than 'Gumshoe.'
I usually write out of pure love, delirium, or just to get the devil off my back, and this one checks all three boxes.
It may be the closest I've come so far to finding real freedom in music.
