youngdigerati Young Digerati San Francisco Young Digerati are the architects of a synth-heavy, Anglo-centric, (small “r”) romantic sound that could have been built only in San Francisco (or in 1985). So it's no shock they’ve already scored airplay on their hometown’s influential Live 105 - or that they've been booked on the station’s BFD Festival and on DJ Aaron Axelsen’s legendary “Britpop” night Popscene. The prototypical Young D tune features lushly programmed keyboards and guitars, layered over live drums and bass. It inevitably stars a girl whom the band clearly will never get, and guys with whom they’ll never quite fit in. “Why do the girls I like move to the South to start a brand new life?” That’s the ego-crushing query that crops up in the very first line of the debut single, The Dauphin. The band’s expanding cycle of songs consistently and un-self-consciously calls to mind the Pet Shop Boys collaborating with the Postal Service on the soundtrack to a lost John Hughes film. They're currently writing, recording, and performing gigs on the West Coast and around the Bay Area. youngdigerati’s tracks Schisms by youngdigerati published on 2013-07-18T18:20:18Z A Matter of Perspective by youngdigerati published on 2012-06-07T18:39:40Z Peak Performance by youngdigerati published on 2012-06-07T18:39:39Z The Dauphin (EP Version) by youngdigerati published on 2012-06-07T18:39:39Z Timescape by youngdigerati published on 2012-06-07T18:39:39Z Young Digerati - Peak Performance by youngdigerati published on 2012-05-17T19:54:00Z Legacy (demo) by youngdigerati published on 2012-05-02T23:35:21Z Young Digerati - Joy Machine Mixtape by youngdigerati published on 2011-04-13T17:47:51Z
