Video of Youth Lagoon at Origami Vinyl by OnTheRecord.TV

OTRtv: Youth Lagoon - Cannons; Live @ Origami Vinyl from ONTHERECORD.tv on Vimeo.

Two weeks ago, Trevor Powers came through L.A. on the second night of his cross-country tour in support of his band Youth Lagoon, playing to a sold-out crowd at The Echo in Echo Park. Before the show, Trevor walked down two storefronts on Sunset Blvd. and into Origami Vinyl to play a short set of songs in front of a decidedly smaller (yet-still-crazy-packed) house.

His debut album out on Fat Possum Records, The Year in Hibernation landed on Pitchfork’s “Best New Music” and we can easily hear why. Described by Trevor as an outlet for fears and emotions he couldn’t otherwise express, Youth Lagoon’s first record is an at-times haunting, always gorgeous collection of tracks.

There was some question among those of us filming as to what his voice would sound like without the reverb and lo-fi production found on the record. Any doubts were completely smashed by what turned to be one of the most searing performances we’ve seen in the loft. Trevor’s got pipes, yo. Just saying.

Thanks so much to OnTheRecord.TV for coming in and making a killer video of this in-store!

This Week on OnTheRecord.tv :: The One AM Radio

Our friends at OnTheRecord.tv recently caught up with Hrishikesh Hirway and his band The One AM Radio for a late afternoon jaunt in our loft. Sanctuary from the stifling summer heat in the loft was handily provided by Hrishikesh's smooth, measured vocals while backing members Scott Leahy and Fontaine Cole dropped a steady dream-like groove on the audience.

Today we bring you their performance of "Everyone But You" from their newest record 'Heaven is Attached by a Slender Thread' on Dangerbird Records.
