This year, Fat Possum Records celebrates the 10th anniversary of Youth Lagoon’s debut album “The Year of Hibernation”. 45rpm Double Cream Colour Vinyl includes the album as well as 3 bonus songs. The artwork is expanded into a gatefold vinyl with updated artwork and printed inner sleeves by Collin Fletcher.
‘The Year of Hibernation’ turns 13 years old today. When I recorded it, I was going to Boise State University — skipping classes to use the school’s pianos to write these songs cuz I knew that was more important. I took out a student loan to pay for recording. People made fun of my voice. I didn’t listen. I just worked. They said I was delusional. I was. I did everything everyone told me not to. Trust the inner world at all costs. That is life itself.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary, “Traces” has been completely remixed and remastered by our producer and engineer, Paul van Zeeland, and also prepared for it’s first ever release on deluxe Limited Edition vinyl. The remix sounds spectacular and provides a fresh view on the original mix while retaining the spirit and feel of the original album.
Stunning new album artwork was created by Antonio Seijas especially for this 10th Anniversary edition.
