Austin, Texas-based Yahtzee Brown mixes introspection with stadium rock swagger with his new banger: “Big Friday.”
“Big Friday” is definitely not a middle of the road anthem. It is a track shimmering with cool, rich electric guitar tones. The licks sustain with reflective ease like sunshine falling on your face. It’s the type of understated yet classy spidery moves Johnny Marr would make on guitar. Propelled by a solid driving beat and a firm bass groove, “Big Friday” radiates a mature charm that tells us Yahtzee Brown has all the classics in his record collection.
Breezy and warm, the vocals of Yahtzee Brown float effortlessly over the arrangement as he leans into the melodies with a casual sense of confidence. It’s a performance where every note is savoured. This song is the epitome of an anthem.
On the track the artist says: “Big Friday is a song about losing friends to bad habits and dealing with that loss. Sometimes, what starts as light-hearted fun spirals out of control and becomes dangerous. Learning that sometimes you have to let people make their own mistakes.”
Lush and expansive, the whole track just feels like one effortless slice of anthemic indie rock. “Big Friday” is taken from Yahtzee Brown’s new album You Got This.
