"The Party’s Over (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road)" is a weary submission to the world by Okay Champ
Post-punk five-piece Okay Champ has released its brooding and jagged debut single, "The Party’s Over (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road)".
Comprised of fellow North-Eastern acts EAT FAST, YOURCODENAMEIS:MILO, Nately's Whore's Kid Sister, Ten Sticks and Let's Buy Happiness, the single references a separation between then and now.
Adopting the barbed and distorted instrumentation of Sonic Youth and The Melvins, vocalist John Edgar’s lyrics inform his listeners of a bygone time when life was more unhinged. "I used to like drugs, but now I like therapy" is indicative of this divide, presented as an observation on how things just move on yet underlined by the notion that everything has indeed gotten worse.
Whether it be drugs, a car or bands, Edgar’s wry observations give the impression of a man that has given in to the way of the world, and is sounding all the wearier for it.
"'The Party's Over (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road)' is basically a giant strop about mortality, and Brexit,’’ Edgar says about the track. "I'd prolapsed a disc in my back and we'd seemingly regressed seventy years over night. It just poured out. I think it was written in about ten minutes. Then Dave wrote that solo!"
