College is one of those rarefied experiences that people use to signify a certain point in their lives, a certain frame of mind. Whether it’s binge drinking, promiscuity and poor partner choices, or an impoverished ramen-for-breakfast lifestyle, college serves as the one word, all-encompassing excuse for all sorts of ludicrous behavior. On “No Mind No Money,” London four-piece Beach Baby managed to sum up that tangled mess of total freedom and confusion, infusing it with shoegaze reverie and post-punk stridency. The band is relatively new, with approximately two other songs floating around in the universe at the moment; “Ladybird” is a much dreamier, spiraling number and “Bruise” leans toward languid. On this new track though, the dour-rock malaise of Franz Ferdinand’s feigned apathy clicks along in the verses, ’til that sweet, juvenile chorus hits: “Honey in my mouth/ So sweet.” The words sound like nonsense — like most of what we do in college does to everyone else — but that aching, inexplicable magic of youth’s innocence is all here. Even if all the pressure of the future is lurking around the corner, this moment still remains. Listen below.
