In 2016, Trevor Powers bid farewell to Youth Lagoon, feeling trapped and lost. “I felt like I was in a chokehold,” he reflects. After stepping back and embracing personal transformation in Idaho, he began releasing experimental music under his own name with albums like Mulberry Violence and Capricorn. A severe drug reaction left him questioning if he would ever sing again, but it also shifted his writing focus to the intimate aspects of life, exploring themes of family and community.
Heaven Is a Junkyard is a masterpiece of mutant Americana, weaving together stories of love, drugs, and miracles, anchored by Powers’ haunting voice and an upright piano. Recorded in just six weeks with acclaimed co-producer Rodaidh McDonald (known for his work with The xx and Adele), this album is a testament to devotion and artistry.
Every track in this album, from “Rabbit” to “Helicopter Toy,” invites you into a world where love flourishes amidst the chaos. Perfect for collectors, this ultra-clear vinyl is a standout addition to any collection of indie music.
