Wow. Youthless jumped up at me with their brand of raucous, articulate, garage pop. It’s just two guys – a bass, a drumkit and the occassional synth – correct me if I’m wrong. Very minimal set up. Its effortlessly dancey and so loud. Golden Age reminds me of Holiday For Strings amped-up, but then an amped-up Holiday For Strings means DFA 1979 innit?

It’s like this dance / punk pandemonium thing that fits in nicely with the current Leeds’ scene. I like it!
Metronomy‘s Olugbenga’s done a remix, in the style of Girl Talk – pretty cool if you ask me:
