The Afro Nick’s Get There Before Noon (LA Mix) is a whirlwind of alternative indie and production wizardry from start to finish. The Crete native, now residing in Los Angeles, pushes boundaries. Enlisting the help of Leo Genovese, a keyboardist who’s played with Mars Volta, gives a hint about the style of Get There Before Noon. It’s a bit psychedelic, a bit progressive, a bit jazzy—but totally off the wall.
You’ve got bold swampy drums, stoner bass grooves, dreamy pads, keyboard riffs that sound like they’re from an early Mario Kart game, and guitar breaks that glide the song into seventh heaven. Writing it down like that, you may think it shouldn’t work—but it does! As it swamps through a dark sea of alternative indie, the chorus drags it into clearer waters. When euphoria hits, the chorus will have you waving your arms in pure joy.
The Afro Nick delivers a compelling and distinctive vocal performance, you’ll believe his every word. What also strikes you is that Get There Before Noon is a fascinating listening experience that has you reaching for the repeat button—thanks in no small part to the production value, which is immersive and 4-dimensional. There might even be a ping-pong ball in there at some point! Get There Before Noon? I’ll be there at 11AM sharp!
