“Listen In” is a weekly feature in which we ask musicians to curate a mixtape-length YouTube playlist of songs they’re currently digging.
This week’s playlist comes from the synth punks Holograms, who curated a list heavy on Swedish compatriots like Makthaverskan, Skriet, and Idde Schultz, peppered with a generous helping of American chillwave via Memory Cassette and Teen Daze.
Holograms’ second album, Forever, drops next month.
