“Bitcoin Baby” is the latest release from The Beat Generation, demonstrating that good songwriting remains timeless, regardless of the subject matter. Written and sung by band founder member Miklos Fritz, with production by director and founder Lawrence White, this track delivers infectious old-school classic song worship in the face of abstract digitalism.
“Bitcoin Baby” is a funny piece of tongue-in-cheek commentary on an industry that most of us all act like we understand but don’t really. The contrast between classic, soulful songwriting and lyrics about cryptocurrency serves to make the track witty and refreshing, a song that tips its toes toward the past while laughing hysterically at the idiocy of the present. Miklos’ deeply emotional lead vocal provides the song’s anchor, with harmonies from his life partner, fine artist Ann Womack, adding an extra depth of warmth and grace. Her presence only enhances the production, adding a subtext that enriches and balances the edges of its argument.
Shot by Lawrence White with both audio and video, “Bitcoin Baby” is more than a curiosity, it’s a cultural Polaroid. It’s a striking portrait of the dissonance, frenetic energy, and information overload of living in a world where technology moves faster than our capacity to understand it, and a reminder that even in chaos, music can anchor us.
“Bitcoin Baby” is the latest example of The Beat Generation’s artistry, and it’s proof that solid songwriting can make even the most out-there subject matter feel innately human, relatable, and super-catchy too.
