To be fair.. I was so wasted
I was dancing recklessly.. oh, I was so dizzy
But now you’re on your own and your savior’s gone
As you trip down every virtue that you’ve ever known
For the last four years, Conner Youngblood has been putting out the sort of self-produced, nuanced electronic music that generally qualifies as “bedroom pop,” except he absolutely refuses to stay indoors. One of the first songs I ever heard by Youngblood was a track entitled “Monsters” way back in 2010, and I was fascinated and struck by the way he interpolated a banjo riff with some bombastic bass dubstep production.
Now 24, the native Texan is currently based out of Nashville. Before that, he attended Yale, He was a wrestler for tha Ivy League Team before venturing into the music industry. Then a deal with a label fell through in 2013, He stepped back and refocused and continued to make fiercely independent music house, folk, and indie pop. He self-released the Confidence EP in 2014. But is now following that up with a new, completely self-produced EP called The Generation Of Lift.
The full EP will be out in October.
