The Daytime High have always been a jolly bunch — bringing the loud, confident sound of rock-and-roll to the speakers in typical Californian fashion; and their latest single, “Beauty In The Sky”, is no stranger to this — keep reading for my thoughts!
Right from the start of the song, there’s that old-school Californian flair to the song that’s simply unmistakable; “Beauty In The Sky” does a bang-up job of transporting you right to the 1970s with its wide open, cheery, and confident sound. Right from their unique slapback vocals to the crash cymbals in the background, this song represents a listening fiesta from start to end, the tequila sunrise to pep up your day.

When we come to the production on “Beauty In The Sky”, the guitar solo mid-song stands out with its sheer flair and integration into the rest of the song. The vocals are written, processed and delivered with much aplomb, with great emotional variety, range, and energy that flows smoothly through the sections, making for that one cohesive sound that The Daytime High has been etching their reputation for. The mix is wide, dynamic, and the drums cut through the mix quite nicely, making for a great sense of timing through the track, keeping the listener in lockstep with the rest of the tunes.
With well-composed instrumentation and an overall solid execution, “Beauty In The Sky“ is definitely worth a listen! Check out the track here:
