SPACE DISCOVERY: the afro nick – “Get There Before Noon (LA mix)”
In this new Space Discovery we got The Afro Nick with a killer track called “Get There Before Noon (LA Mix)”, a song that hits like a wake-up call wrapped in a sun-drenched, fuzzed-out indie-rock groove! It’s got that perfect mix of laid-back cool and restless urgency, like you’re cruising through LA with the windows down, but you’re also running late for something big..
Right from the start, the track pulls you in with thick, crunchy guitar riffs that feel like they’ve soaked up years of road trips and late-night jam sessions. There’s an easy swagger to the verses, but don’t let that fool you: underneath the smooth, psych-tinged melodies, there’s a fire burning! Nick’s raspy, lived-in vocals deliver lines like “I got to live this life, not yesterday” with the weight of someone who’s been there, done that and knows there’s no time to waste.
Grammy-winning synth wizard Leo Genovese adds just the right amount of cosmic shimmer to the mix, layering in these lush, spacey textures that make the whole track feel bigger than just a song: it’s a mood, a whole way of looking at life. The balance between indie grit and psychedelic dreaminess is spot on, never tipping too far in either direction.
Lyrically, “Get There Before Noon” isn’t just about making it somewhere on time; it’s a call to action, a reminder that life isn’t waiting around for you to figure things out. There’s a kind of raw, unapologetic energy to the whole thing, like it was recorded in one perfect take where everything just clicked.
And that final line? “And all you have to do is get there before noon.” It leaves you thinking about the days you let slip by, about the moments you can’t get back, and about how maybe, just maybe, it’s time to stop overthinking and just go.
