Description
George van den Broek – aka Yellow Days – has long been recognised as one of the brightest and most forwardthinking stars of British pop. With a voice as captivating as that of his idol, Ray Charles, a songwriting ability which drills into millennial issues of depression and rootlessness, and a pioneer’ s desire to seek out new sonic territories, he’ s already amassed a global following – he’ s just back from sellout shows in Hong Kong, Taipei and Istanbul – and a celebrity fan club including fellow mavericks Tom Waits, Mac DeMarco and Tyler, The Creator.Yellow Days extraordinary new album Hotel Heaven, however, sees George push the creative envelope still further. A cosmic concept album focusing on central character ‘The Pilot’ and the inhabitants of the titular ‘Hotel Heaven’, it’ s a genreshredding tour de force which combines the lofi aesthetic of Tame Impala and the elastic funk grooves of Sly Stone with the emotional grit of Plastic Ono Bandera John Lennon.TRACKLISTINGWELCOME TO HOTEL HEAVENMRS MOONLIGHTYOURE SO COOLFINER THINGS IN LIFEHIGHER ROOMCRYING FOR HELPPLANET EARTH
