Trevor Powers, known as Youth Lagoon, discusses his fifth studio album 'Rarely Do I Dream', where he addresses the intricacies of human emotions through soundscapes. The album showcases a balance between hope and unsettling memories, reflecting on the fluidity of memory and perception. Powers' deep meditation practice has blurred the lines of reality, leading to his most emotionally raw work yet. Drawing inspiration from childhood home videos, he seeks deeper truths beyond nostalgia, creating a record that embodies complex human experiences and emotions, captured in a signature style of warmth and unease.
My job was to weave the full picture, the warmth and the darkness, because truth is always in between.
Rarely Do I Dream is my most emotionally raw yet, shaped by personal upheaval and deep meditation.
The title was born from a period of transformation; the line between awake and asleep blurred, reshaping my understanding of existence.
Nostalgia doesn't mean as much as learning from it; I focus on being rather than doing.
