The Hope College Concert Series will feature Youth Lagoon on Friday, Sept. 13, at 8 p.m. at the Knickerbocker Theatre in downtown Holland.
Trevor Powers, the man behind Youth Lagoon, began writing and recording his debut album, “The Year of Hibernation” on his own, with only a few instruments and an old Casio machine. When his early recordings started to catch the attention of music bloggers, his career was quickly launched.
While Powers’s debut is considered a lo-fi, soft and minimalistic, his sophomore album, “Wondrous Bughouse,” which earned a “Best New Music” label from Pitchfork, is more grand in scale while focusing on synths and powerful low tones.
Opening for the evening will be Antrim Dells, a Grand Rapids-based band led by Hope College graduate Jacob Bullard.
Tickets are $15 for the general public and $5 for Hope College students. Tickets are available for purchase online at tickets.hope.edu/ticketing, and at the ticket offices in the Events and Conferences Office located downtown in the Anderson-Werkman Financial Center and in the main lobby of the DeVos Fieldhouse. Both offices are open weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and can be called at (616) 395-7890.
