Listen In: Gold & Youth Made You a Playlist


May 21, 2013 | Andy Cush

Listen In” is a weekly feature in which we ask musicians to curate a mixtape-length YouTube playlist of songs they’re currently digging.

For their edition of “Listen In,” the Canadian electronic outfit Gold & Youth compiled a playlist that mixes classic new wave with ambient techno, shoegaze, and jangly guitar pop. Befitting the band’s name, this is music that renders the world in a hazy, romantic glow. Click the big play button above to hear the whole playlist, and scroll down to see and play individual songs.
