Virtually famous: Yellow Days

The bill for this weekend’s inaugural All Points East festival looks spectacular at the top end, with LCD Soundsystem, Lorde, The xx and Björk, all appearing in Victoria Park in the evening. The daytime fare is far from shabby too.

Seek out Yellow Days early on Sunday for a relaxed treat. Brought up as George van den Broek in Surrey, he sounds like another George, Ezra, after a heavy night, with a cavernous croak that sounds too world weary for a man still in his teens.

His vast voice weaves its way through groggy, hazy, modern music with occasional jazzy flourishes.

There’s a chance you’ve heard it on the trailer for the latest series of Atlanta, the TV show from man of the moment Donald Glover.

Glover borrowed Gap in the Clouds from a Yellow Days EP from 2016, but there’s been a whole album since then – 13 damaged but ultimately optimistic songs collected under the title Is Everything Okay in Your World? There’s plenty for van den Broek to feel okay about. He’ll surely be much higher on the bill at All Points East 2019.
