Trevor Sensor is a songwriter from Illinois. The Sterling, Illinois native washes his raw noises with modern US woes. Raised in an ailing rust belt town (formerly the ‘Hardware Capital Of The World’, now akin to the “Lynchian neighbourhood of Lumberton from Blue Velvet”), Sensor’s slogged through the fading American Dream.

With his interest in The Violent Femmes, Smashing Pumpkins, J.D. Salinger, Arthur Miller and more, it was clear that small town life wasn’t his future. On lone-wandering travels, Sensor learned from “ex-junkies” he washed dishes with, and began to set his troubles to music – the result’s a ground-down, but remarkably hopeful, voice searching for redemption, identity, and a place to call home.
His second EP, ‘Starved Nights of Saturday Stars, will be out AUGUST 5th

“Judas Said to be a Man” available on iTunes. Full single, including “Endless Shame” out May 27th, 2016 on Jagjaguwar Records.

You’re probably going to be hearing more about a young musician called Trevor Sensor soon. On Monday night BBC Radio 1 played the song “Reaper Man” by the Pella resident. Sensor’s been playing open mic nights in Pella , Sterling Illnois, and at places like the Gas Lamp.

A song played on BBC Radio 1 has the potential to reach a large percentage of the country. On Monday night Sensor’s song was mixed in with tracks by Leon Bridges, The Vaccines, Prodigy and Kendrick Lamar.

Sensor’s song “Reaper Man.” Sensor’s voice is very distinctive, somewhere between Daniel Johnston and Tom Waits with a dash of Neutral Milk Hotel’s Jeff Mangun mixed in. Host Huw Stephens doesn’t provide a lot of info on Sensor, other than saying he’s 21 and from Illinois (he’s from Sterling, Il., but is living in Pella). Sensor doesn’t have much of a web presence at the moment, though he does regularly write for the Brooklyn website Alt Citizen and you can follow him on Twitter.
