Youth Lagoon: "July" MP3

Youth Lagoon is Trevor Powers, a kid I hadn't listened to until this morning. Instant impression is one of... uh, annoyance. The echoing up out of a well vocals, the whine that follows when he climbs into falsetto. Not liking this much.

You decide yourself:

"July" from The Year of Hibernation, Youth Lagoon's debut album, out September 27 in North America (Fat Possum) and Europe ( Lefse).

Bruce Springsteen "Dancing In The Dark" Music Video Outtakes

A little birdie just clued me in on this near 13 minute video of... well, you can read the post title can't you. He looks kinda like he's auditioning for Stayin' Alive, or Flashdance, or something in the '80s. His dancing is nearly as bad as Britney Spears. Sorry, Bruce.
