Description

Trevor Powers began recording music in 2011, releasing a trilogy of albums under the moniker Youth Lagoon before announcing the end of the project in 2015. Powers started making music experiments inspired by the visual works of artists such as Francis Bacon, Sister Gertrude Morgan and Harry Clarke. Embracing a combination of noise, beauty and mercurial avant-pop atmospheres, he began molding these experiments into songs highlighting the intersection of unity and chaos, nightmares and the invisible forces at war within the human self. Retreating to Tornillo, Texas, Powers brought his songs and a handful of contributors to Sonic Ranch, a residential studio complex in the middle of a 2,300 acre orchard, to record ‘Mulberry Violence.’ The album was mixed in Los Angeles by frequent Beyoncé collaborator Stuart White.
