Youth Lagoon’s upcoming album Savage Hills Ballroom is due out on September 25. Ahead of its release, Youth Lagoon aka Trevor Powers shared another single, “Rotten Human.”

This new single begins sounding like a quiet, gentle song but soon opens up into much more. As the song goes on, various sounds continue to layer on top of one another to create a cohesive new combination that adds more life into the once delicate track.

Powers further explained his thought process behind the song to Nerdist:

Throughout the process of writing this album—about two years—I’ve gone on this spiritual journey to learn more about myself and my faults and all this stuff that I’ve tended [to] ignore for a really long time. It’s so much easier to go through each day and forget the previous day or forget the hurtful things you said to someone or whatever it might be, just the shitty parts of your life. This song is addressing that. It’s really examining what it is that makes me who I am, and what parts of that are disgusting.

Listen to “Rotten Human” below.
