Vancouver's Gold & Youth have released "Maudlin Days (Robocop)," the second single from the band's upcoming record Dream Baby, out November 5 on Paper Bag Records.
In a statement about the song, frontman Matthew Lyall said it was inspired by a conversation he'd had at a party with some truth-seeking, ayahuasca-imbibing finance bros.
It wasn't until later, when rehashing the story with my girlfriend, a story in which I was so sure I was doing's God's work in raining down ridicule and condescension with a half smirk (and to be clear, this story absolutely deserved ridicule and condescension), that it became obvious that I had slipped into just as much of a caricature as they had: The Lululemon wall street jabronis vs the smug lefty band guy who claims to love humanity above all else but rolls his eyes at actual humans (even finance bros are humans after all, right?).
The song comes attached to a Wayne Moreheart-created visualizer that's awash in the retro fuzz of VHS. Check it out below.
"Maudlin Days (Robocop)" follows first single "The Worse The Better."
