But a cold couldn’t hold back Trevor Powers and his project Youth Lagoon,

In the following decade, both the local community and international music scene have helped MFNW evolve into the third largest indoor festival in the United States. More than 30,000 music lovers descend on the City of Roses for the six-day fest, which hosts more
Time feels like it’s starting to slow in the summer heat, and maybe because it’s also too hot to headbang, this week’s mix is more on the chill vibe. Make your mind wander with psych folkers Rose Windows, who was the subject of both a live review and an album review. Both were highly effusive

I discovered Young Magic almost one year ago when the collective’s first single, “You With Air/Sparkly” fatefully landed in my inbox. Needless to say, it was love at first listen.
