The brand new release from Yellow Days proceeds his upcoming album, A Day In A Yellow Beat. Geared for release on September 18th, Yellow Days’ second studio album is thankfully just around the corner. 

The highly anticipated A Day In A Yellow Beat is set to feature a diverse mix of artists. John Carroll Kirby, Nate Fox and Bishop Neru are all confirmed contributors to the new record. 

It has also been confirmed recently that Yellow Days will hit the road in 2021, the Gap In The Clouds singer revealing a list of UK and European tour dates on September 3rd via Instagram. Yellow Days’ tour will commence in Barcelona on March 2nd and ending at the London O2 Kentish Town Forum on April 9th. 

In the post, Yellow Days confirmed that “Tickets are available next week”. This was met with an excited response from Yellow Days’ worldwide fans, as he also confirmed that the “US and rest of world dates” are “still to come.” 

Brooding and beguiling, The Curse is just what you would expect from multi-genre artist Yellow Days. Collaborating with Demarco, who brings more than his fair share of psychedelic sonics to the table, the indie-soul infused The Curse has many layers, inviting as it is cautionary.

Opening with some brief percussion, The Curse wastes no time and launches into Yellow Days’ raspy croon. This paired with the superior production completely envelopes the listener’s attention from start to finish.

With warped keyboards, wavy bass and whimsical synthesisers, The Curse is multidimensional and rich in sound. Yellow Days sings about breaking away from dark cloud of depressive, manic thoughts that so often plague his lyrics.

‘The Curse’ ft. Mac Demarco OUT NOW <3. xxx art by @tokioaoyama LINK IN BIO

The talented young artists sings sorrowfully: “I been living in a state of fear/I been fearing the world/It’s ’bout time I broke out this funk, uh/’Bout time I lift this curse.” and “the nights are just too hard to bare/Hear the footsteps in the dark and now I’m scared.” 

A music video for The Curse was dropped in unison with the song’s arrival last night. Beginning with a meta-mid shot of Yellow Days singing in front of a green screen, the music video emits disarming glitches and pixelation, until an AI of the artist takes over the screen completely. 

The off-kilter camera cuts to a digitally rendered Mac Demarco as the pair saunters through a forest before playfully jamming out on their respective instruments together. The Curse music video was directed by Charlie Robbins.
