20. - YOUTH LAGOON - THE YEAR OF HIBERNATION
Last year Perfume Genius released his glorious bedroom produced debut "Learning." This year we got this and it's in a similar vein. It's more electronic than Perfume Genius, but just as uplifting. It doesn't really employ choruses though. It has hooks and kickdrums and it's amazing how something so shiny and twinkly can be so transcendental.
It's like Trevor Powers - of California - has crafted the most beautiful yacht out of a load of lego and can set sail into the blueberry sea.
Another great thing here, is how it blurs gender boundaries. I could've sworn this was a woman singing but neigh, neigh it's not. I'm not a horsey. Neigh. I just feel like this album brings out the inner child in me. A great debut.
