“Late For Yesterday” is a riveting new single from Welsh singer-songwriter Owen Weston, who immerses with a structural swell from lush introspection into more ardent ruminations on passing time. The release serves as a standalone single, following the recent release of full-length album Everything’s Moving, Nothing’s Changing — a standout release, which we featured here. “Late For Yesterday” represents a stoppage to Weston’s solo output, as he now returns with full focus to his band Strange Company. It’s a fantastic adieu to his solo work, at least for now.
A hypnotic, introspective allure is immediately apparent — propelled by a cohesive fusing of calming acoustic strums and twanging guitar adornments. A multi-layered vocal power flows alongside. The dreamy soundscape expands quickly into a punchier psych-forward invigoration, as steady percussion and rumbling guitars inject a charismatic captivation as the mid-point approaches. Vocal ruminations on how “time flies by,” complements with a soaring contemplation, admitting “seems like I’m always late for yesterday.” The perspectives on passing time, and feeling like just missing out, captivates within this dynamic production — spanning seamlessly from lusher initial territory into a rousing art-rock edge.
