about

Long before representations of heralding angels became associated with the horn, it was used in contexts of battle. The trumpet is an object of war. Its spirit was born as a device of communicative aggression across millennia of conflict. From this past is where Trever Hagen plays. On the edges of appropriateness. On the fringes of semiotics. In the face of triumph. Rather than bending himself to this instrument, he’s attempted to bend this piece of metal to himself - not as an act of defiance but as a resource for storytelling.

“Facing the Atlantic, with my back to the cliffs of Europe, I left and returned. I crossed that body of water for what felt like the last time. It wasn't those fierce waves that saved me - in fact they almost took me. It was a calm lake with the familiar freshwater scent of my youth that saved me. There, my head stared into a celestial ceiling, and I saw an infinity.”

Amygdala is what we speak to ourselves when we've gone mad: small stories whispered like secrets. Harnessed narratives of auto-electrocution. Wicked tales, spoken with a forked tongue. Truths trapped in deception. Letters to future selves, maps of a past heart. Masks, rage, lies. A hole in a door from a fury-fist. Cursed heavens, psychedelic jungles, parallel presents. Amygdala tells the story of the fury of deception, the search for trust, the entanglement of love.

Self-produced with mixing by Justin Vernon, Amygdala was recorded at April Base studio in Wisconsin.
