The Young Gods’ new single "Systemized" encapsulates a sense of urgent despondency, addressing the chaos of information overload in the digital age. Set against a glitchy lyric video, the song features lines like “Words are here, but I can’t catch them” that reflect the fleeting attention spans of modern life. This release paves the way for their upcoming album Appear Disappear, due June 13, and follows their 2022 reinterpretation of Terry Riley’s In C. The Swiss trio will embark on a European tour from October to December.
Given the themes of digital overload and the search for clarity in their music, how do you think the rise of technology has impacted artistic expression and the way audiences engage with it?
