Savage Hills Ballroom is the third studio album by Boise, Idaho-based musician Trevor Powers' Youth Lagoon project.

Powers alluded to the fact that the album addressed breaking down barriers and acknowledging personal flaws.

I think of things in mental images, and while I was working on the album, I pictured this [ballroom]…a place that’s ominous but still inviting.

[2] On July 13, 2015, "The Knower" became the first track to be distributed prior to the album's release; it was issued as a free single-sided 7" single.

[11] Ian Cohen of Pitchfork gave the album a positive review, stating, "Regardless of the subject matter or the production or the arrangements, the most truly self-searching Youth Lagoon album has Powers realizing he perhaps knew his position of strength all along—the inner child set adrift in the adult world, left to figure it out on his own.
