Yesterday, two of our favourite things came together – Neon Gold Records and Interview Magazine. The established magazine interviewed Derek Davies and Lizzy Plapinger, founders of Neon Gold Records. Check it out for some insight on two young students’ start up record label, setting up the dream and then living it.

“Given their ages and pedigree (Davies, 22, is a film major at NYU; Plapinger, 21, majors in media studies “with a focus on music” at Vassar), skeptics might assume Neon Gold is a hip undergraduate vanity project that caters to the current whims of the Brooklyn-based art and music scene. They’d be mistaken: if anything, Neon Gold reverses the art/noise pop paradigm and is ushering literal, unironic “Pop” back into indie (and mainstream) acceptance.”
