Youth Lagoon: Heaven Is a Junkyard [Fat Possum]

Youth Lagoon Heaven Is a Junkyard

For a few years, Trevor Powers was just Trevor Powers. The name Youth Lagoon was revived for Heaven Is a Junkyard following a health scare that caused Powers to lose his voice for months. Featuring the singles “Prizefighter” and “Idaho Alien,” Powers describes the new album as “stories of brothers leaving for war, drunk fathers learning to hug, mothers falling in love, neighbors stealing mail, cowboys doing drugs, friends skipping school, me crying in the bathtub, dogs catching rabbits, and children playing in tall grass.”
