Heaven Is a Junkyard

Youth Lagoon

Dusty upright piano and lap steel meet glitchy electronics. A fragile, haunting return to the Youth Lagoon name, rooted in the high desert of Idaho.

June 9, 2023 · Fat Possum Records

Find on Amazon

A fragile, earth-bound resilience that finds beauty in the wreckage of personal and regional history.
