Youth Lagoon, aka Trevor Powers, has shared a new track that he recorded during the sessions for his recent album Savage Hills Ballroom. It's called "I've Seen". Listen to it above and read what Powers had to say about it below. That's the single art, above.
Throughout the months I worked on Savage Hills Ballroom, I became possessed by a concept. If we had the ability to accept our blemishes, seeing that it's our fuck ups & flaws that make us distinct & force us to advance as individuals & as a society, we could start understanding each other. The world swims in judgement. It makes us feel good to think someone else is worse than us. We're born into this mindset - & much of it is rooted in self-loathing rather than merely learning from our weaknesses. We bury who we really are because we don't think anyone will accept us. SHB is grounded in satire. It is a microcosm of a perfect society, decorated in gold & elegance to serve as a mockery of how we present ourselves to those around us. I wrote "I've Seen" as a farewell song to this ballroom..just gonna stay a while longer. See you outside. +++ WASTING 4 U +++
