UncutSep 16, 2015Lush, lightly electronic chamber-pop arrangements dominate. [Oct 2015, p.84]
-
Sep 25, 2015Powers throws just enough of his own inquisitive character to find his finest moment. He does it time and time again on this record.
-
Sep 25, 2015With Savage Hills Ballroom Powers has expanded the Youth Lagoon sound without losing any of the intimacy of his bedroom pop beginnings.
-
Sep 17, 2015While Savage Hills Ballroom awkwardly stretches to make universal points from Powers' personal distaste, his personal heartache results in the most truly resonant moments.
-
Sep 21, 2015On his third full-length, Savage Hills Ballroom, Powers eases into the middle between the hush and the boom, foregrounding his voice and his lyrics for his starkest, most focused effort yet.
-
Sep 16, 2015Powers's vocals, which still possess his signature nasal tone, are more upfront and unflinching this time. Yet for all this newfound confidence and prowess, that special emotional punch of a Youth Lagoon song is missing.
-
Sep 24, 2015On Savage Hills Ballroom, Powers seems much too concerned with slick sophistication that doesn't quite suit him.
