Boise bedroom composer Youth Lagoon returns today with a taste of his upcoming Wondrous Bughouse. The new single is entitled “Mute” and it finds the chillwaver in an uncharacteristically energetic mood. Significantly heavier and louder than when last we heard Youth Lagoon — on his debut The Year of Hibernation back in 2011 — this track seems to suggest some stylistic changes in store for his sophomore LP.
Alongside the track, Youth Lagoon also announced a series of tour dates around the U.S. and Canada today, taking him on the road from late February until early June. Listen to the track and check out those tour dates below and look out for Wondrous Bughouse on March 5 via Fat Possum.
