I am so impressed by "No Hope Generation" by Mura Masa. Wikipedia tells me that Mura Masa, by the bye, is the stage name of Alex Crossan who's a "Guernsey-born electronic music producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist." Not a bad skillset.
This song pairs a punk guitar riff with eerie autotune—almost a la "Lindisfarne" by James Blake—and it's working for me. As for the ethos, it's a perennial one. It's that moment that strikes, often during your 20s, when you face disillusionment and a creeping fear that your "failure to launch" is not a temporary state. You become sadly nostalgic for the relative optimism of youth. Think "Bastards of Young" by The Replacements.
