The Afro Nick’s “Get There Before Noon (LA Mix)” is a stirring indie rock ballad that got a hold of me from the beginning synth swells and refused to let go. I have always connected with soulful art, which is why Nick’s wild mane served as an instant draw – a mark of his free-spirited self. That, however, goes beyond mere striking visual – such quality of fearless authenticity permeates every single aspect of the music.
Nick integrates woozy, fuzz drenched guitars along with shuffling grooves. This helps eliminate the barrier between him and listeners. The quality feels rather warm and blurry which sucks the listener into Nick’s foggy realm. I admired how his hurried, hoarse vocals transformed the his lifeless ruminations into some deep, moving reality. What excited me the most was the way he professed every single phrase that felt profound.
Yet against all the dozy psychoactive patterns, an erratic force pushes the entire activity forward and leads to a divinely affirmative ensemble which awakens you to your very core. These are the peaks that spark within where words, tunes, and sheer sound strength combine together to elicit a visceral and metaphysical response. I was instantly overwhelmed, motivated to break free from my constraints and fully immerse in the present just like the music captured me.
Even though “Get There Before Noon” definitely blends a wide range of styles put together by The Afro Nick from the wide ranging experience of the artist, what stands out the most is the raw feel the song gives. This not just a recycled version of past generations, but rather a concept that is unique, supported by a deeply philosophical questioning spirit. With every new layer of Nick’s sound, it feels like he is addressing the most profound questions of life, truthfully seeking insight and meaning in each fleeting second.
By so skillfully merging the individual and the global The Afro Nick soars above the competition and created something remarkably unique – a powerful artistic declaration that boldly does away with the tepid boundaries of psychedelic rock and prosaic philosophical sayings. It’s the type of music that will have your fist defiantly pumping in one moment and then in the next, have your mind spinning with deep questions about life. An amazing, fearlessly unconventional art piece, which allows you to personally partake in the life of one man’s passionate embrace of the beauty of life’s transience.
