Hailed by Pitchfork for his “ambient, intimate…songs that blossom gently with intricate musical details and enigmatic lyrics,” Conner Youngblood broke out internationally in 2018 with his critically acclaimed debut album, Cheyenne. The Guardian compared the Dallas native to Elliott Smith and Nick Drake, dubbing him “One To Watch” for his “quietly striking” performances, which have included international dates with the likes of Janelle Monae, SOHN, KT Tunstall, and Milky Chance.
Written and recorded in Youngblood’s Nashville bedroom, Cascades, Cascading, Cascadingly is a series of meditations steeped in desire and yearning, loneliness and loss, exhilaration and escape. On his first full-length release in six years, he blurs the lines between fact and fiction, toying with magical realism and singing in a variety of languages including Japanese, Russian, Spanish and Danish. Sonically, the arrangements on Cascades, Cascading, Cascadingly are surreal and cinematic, conjuring enthralling worlds full of chaos and wonder. In addition to producing and engineering the record, Youngblood played every instrument on the album himself, and the result is an unfiltered journey deep into the subconscious of a relentlessly curious artist, one with an insatiable appetite for musical exploration.
