Yellow Days - Is Everything Okay in Your World? torrent

Is everything okay in your world? It is an apposite question that is also the title of Yellow Days’ debut album. For the Surrey songwriter born George van den Broek, everything is decidedly OK. At 19, he’s amassed enough of a following to ensure full houses on every date of his just-completed UK tour; each song on tonight’s setlist prompts barks of recognition.

Though Van den Broek is backed by a band on stage, Yellow Days is essentially a one-man operation (the name refers to his synesthesia – the ability to perceive colours while listening to music). What he does is both fresh and as old as the hills. His response to growing up with depression is to roar it out of his system via the ancient pathway of the blues. He rasps and writhes over a lo-fi guitar/synth/drums sludge, a spindly teenager from the suburbs who has forged a link between Joe Cocker and King Krule.

Genre: lo-fi, indie rock



Enjoy!
