Song of the Day: Conner Youngblood – Proportion

Posted on
17 Apr 2013

Conner Youngblood will get in your head. His songs are powerful and they hit hard. He’s an artist you immediately recognize with a trademark sound somewhere between heart-wrenching and elevating.
Hailing from Dallas, Texas the young man self-describes as bluegrass/club/indie which is… semi-unbelievably… very accurate. The Yale student also seems to have a sense of humor, admitting he opted for an American Studies major despite his architecture dreams because “I didn’t get into the architecture school (apparently you need to know how to draw), and American Studies kindly accepted
all of my credits.” Architecture’s loss, Conner.

As for the music: Monsters and Better Slow Down are two of my favorite tracks by Youngblood, but my first love is Proportions. The track is haunting and addictive. If you haven’t heard of Conner, think of it as a point of entry into a world of music you will love to explore (unless you’re more of my sister’s taste, whose reaction was, in a word: bleeeeeeeeeeh). If you have heard of Conner, enjoy this little reminder of his greatness.
