Yellow Days

Yellow Days is the recording name of George van den Broek, a British singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer born in Manchester and raised in Haslemere, Surrey. He began writing and self-recording music as a teenager, drawing on a deep love of classic soul and blues, and his early releases quickly built a devoted following for their unusually mature, lived-in sound coming from such a young artist.

His music is often described as soul-filled indie rock, shaped by influences such as Ray Charles, Howlin’ Wolf, Mac DeMarco, and Tame Impala. Yellow Days blends warm, vintage-leaning production with a raspy, weathered vocal delivery that belies his age, giving songs like «A Little While», «Gap in the Clouds», and «Your Hand Holding Mine» an intimate, diary-like quality.

The name Yellow Days, as he has explained, refers not to synesthesia but to the emotional turmoil of youth — a period of confusion and heightened feeling that many people revisit later in life. That thematic thread runs through much of his catalogue, including tracks like «I’ve Been Thinking Too Hard» and «So Terrified of Your Own Mind», which explore anxiety, self-doubt, and introspection with a rawness that has made him a distinctive voice in the UK’s alternative soul and indie scene.
