Roe Kapara is back to make your Friday a “Glorious Day” with his new track. This marks the first 2024 release from the Epitaph Records signee, which follows up his recent 2023 singles “Fajita!” and “The Dead Come Talking.”
Featuring a wide range of indie rock sonics, Kapara begins the track with grungey guitar tones and crescendos into delightfully fuzzy vocals, and euphoria-inducing choruses. The conclusion is tender and comforting, with delicate “ahhhs” over acoustic strums. “I know that I’m not a dancer, but I’ll dance anyway/It’s a perfect disaster, what a glorious day,” Kapara brightly sings. This is certainly a divine way to kick off a new year, as Kapara is excitingly reviving the indie sleaze sound and adding in his own signature alt-rock spice. Check out the thrilling new single below.
In true Kapara fashion, there are political tones in the lyrics. Narratively, the story follows a protagonist who is having some bizarre experiences with cops with a little twist ending.
“‘Glorious Day’ is about the inconsequential life of a nobody that decides to take part in one day of self-indulgent debauchery,” he says of the track. “Through a sequence of catastrophic interactions with the law, he finds himself flying off of a cliff to meet his own demise.”
“Glorious Day” Lyrics:
Making love in your Honda Accord
There’s a cop and he’ll watch ’cause he’s bored
Flashed his brights on the back of your seat
Lost my pants, got your hand on my knee
I know that I’m not a dancer, but I’ll dance anyway
It’s a perfect disaster, what a glorious day
What a glorious day
There’s three more cops, they’re getting hot on our trail
I can’t get caught, I’ve got no cash for the bail
I slam the brakes, we’re flying high off this cliff
Why aren’t we screaming at a moment like this?
I’m always statin’ the answers, but I’ll ask anyway
It’s a perfect disaster, what a glorious day
What a glorious day
I know that I’m not a dancer, but I’ll dance anyway
It’s a perfect disaster, what a glorious day
What a glorious day
