At first, you feel kind of embarrassed for Trevor Powers: Sure, he's just a
kid from Boise, but doesn't he realize what he's up against in 2011? A record
called The Year of Hibernation from an act called Youth Lagoon is the sort of
thing cynics will surely bury alive if they don't ignore it first, especially
if it's filled with warbling synths, faraway vocals, and cover art that
purchased the essence of 1983 from the App Store. But at the risk of praising
The Year of Hibernation as a triumph of naivety, Powers' debut LP made a real
and lasting connection like few other records in the past 12 months. It's half
an hour of nothing but heart: explosive crescendos straining against the
limitations of its production budget, melodies and guitar scribbles drawn in
permanent ink but smudged by reverb, overwhelming feelings about escape and
heartbreak rendered with simplicity and warmth when most of his peers were
content to sing about nothing much at all. The lesson here: Never
underestimate the power of emo.
