The new Mint Mind single Youth And I is out. You will find the track on the upcoming album VG+ which will be released on 10 November at Tapete Records.
Youth And I – a song about ageism and the growing divide between young and old. But aren’t we similar? Aren’t the real enemies pretty much the same now as back then? The battles that have been fought and partially won since the 70’s (environment, woman’s rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, economics, etc.) are being turned back as we speak. Having survived the 80’s with the constant threat of nuclear war, AIDS, Reagan, Thatcher, Iran-Contra, etc. it was good to have any ally, young or old. We need to unite and stop fighting each other.
A buzzing neo-new wave track with oscillating vocal lines and Numan-esque synths reminiscent of the air raid sirens. “Youth and I” with its agressive 60’s style garage riff mixed with 80’s sounds closes the divide between the music of two generations like an angry version of a B52’s song.
