new music: conner youngblood paints desolate landscapes on ‘the generation of lift’ #soundcheck

Multi-instrumentalist Conner Youngblood has an obsession with wide open spaces and desolate landscapes. His songs are full of long suspended chords, unresolved phrases, and enough reverb to fill the Grand Canyon. On his latest EP The Generation of Lift, the young singer-songwriter-producer paints a series of landscapes equally inspired by the wastelands of the American Southwest as it is by the frozen seasides of Scandinavia. “The Birds of Finland” and “Stockholm” both pepper their icy vibes with harp and a chorus of Youngbloods. Even the deceptively named (yet stunning) “A Summer Song” feels more like a cool breeze than the warm summer air. Youngblood saves the best for last with his gorgeous ballad “The Badlands,” a song best heard echoing off a distant cliff while staring out into the vast distance.
