If you’re craving a track that feels like it’s been cooked under the California sun, The Afro Nick’s latest single ‘Get There Before Noon (LA Mix)’ is the heat you need. Dropped on November 22, this one’s a heady cocktail of indie-rock grit, psychedelic sway, and alt-rock grooves — the kind of track that sounds just as fitting for a late-night drive down Sunset as it does for that 11AM adrenaline rush.
From the jump, ‘Get There Before Noon’ grabs you by the collar with thick, fuzzed-out guitar riffs and a pulse that’s as restless as LA traffic. There’s an urgency threaded through every note, and it’s no surprise once you dig into the lyrics. Afro Nick isn’t wasting time here — he’s singing straight to the part of you that knows tomorrow’s not promised. Lines like “I got to live this life, not yesterday” cut through the haze, reminding you to seize the moment.
But it’s not just the words that hit. The production feels alive, bouncing between classic indie-rock nostalgia and modern alt sensibilities. With Grammy-winning synth player Leo Genovese lending his magic, there are shimmering electronic undercurrents that keep the track fresh, layering in psychedelic edges without overcomplicating the groove. The balance between raw and polished is tight — and that’s where Afro Nick thrives.
One of the highlights here is how effortless it all feels. Afro Nick’s raspy, lived-in vocals drip with authenticity, sounding like he’s already lived three lifetimes in one verse. The final moments leave you with that lingering guitar echo, the kind that sticks to your skin like humidity on a July afternoon.
‘Get There Before Noon’ feels like an anthem for the restless — a reminder to get out there and live while the sun’s still up. And with more music on the horizon, Afro Nick is making it clear that he’s not planning to slow down anytime soon.
