Indie Dock Music Blog reviews Beauty in the Sky

The song’s catchiness is undeniable. The chorus lodges itself in your brain with ruthless efficiency, and the overall structure follows the classic verse-chorus-verse blueprint with professional competence. This is rock music that knows exactly what it wants to be and achieves those modest ambitions with aplomb.

 

The Daytime High have created a perfectly serviceable slice of classic rock revivalism. It’s the kind of track that will sound brilliant at 2 AM when you’re three pints deep and feeling nostalgic for sounds you’re too young to remember first-hand. Whether that’s enough in a world already drowning in competent retro-rock remains the question.

 

Still, when the riff kicks in and Johansson starts singing about finding that different glow, you’re reminded why these old formulas became formulas in the first place. Sometimes the best way forward is a well-executed step backward.

EDM Rekords Spotlights "The Daytime High"

We are stoked to be featured on EDM Rekords! While our sound is firmly rooted in alternative and indie rock, it’s always a thrill to see our music crossing genres and reaching new audiences. The review highlights our debut self-titled album as a bold and “original” body of work that deserves to be on everyone’s radar.

A Powerful Sonic Statement

EDM Rekords noted that our album is a “compelling collection” that successfully bridges the gap between deep, introspective themes and vibrant, engaging melodies. They appreciated the “heady mix of lofty production” and the purposeful tone that carries through all ten tracks, making it a “mesmerizing” experience from start to finish.

Standout Versatility

The review called out our ability to incorporate a wide range of influences, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Whether you’re a fan of the “classic textures of the 70s and 80s” or you’re looking for the “fresh textures” of the modern indie scene, there is something in this album for every listener.

A Legacy in the Making

It was incredibly rewarding to have EDM Rekords recognize the “confident and assured presence” we bring to our debut. Being described as one of the most captivating additions to the new music scene this year is a huge honor, and we’re grateful for the support as we continue to push our creative boundaries.

Lost In The Manor Reviews “Pandemonium”

A Fusion of Classic Rock and Modern Alternative

We are thrilled to share a recent review of our single, “Pandemonium,” from the tastemakers over at Lost In The Manor. They captured exactly what we were aiming for with this track—a balance between the nostalgia of the 70s and a fresh, modern energy.

The review notes:

“Pandemonium” by The Daytime High is a wonderful fusion of Classic Rock and Alternative Music… Dealing with themes of love and loss the song features soulful lyrics sung from the heart with crystal-clear instruments to tie it all together.

Technically Skilled Artistry

One of our favorite parts of the review was their appreciation for the song’s midsection shift. They described the track as a “handcrafted delicacy of technically skilled artists at their A-game.” We put a lot of work into the technical arrangements of this song to ensure it wasn’t just another “banal” melody, so hearing that it resonated is huge for us.

A nicely atmospheric opening leads to the song proper, which could be best described as neo-psychedelia mixed with shoegaze and alt-rock. There are moments where vocalist Micael Johansson sounds a bit like Scott Weiland; in fact, the track would’ve fit in well on the late rocker’s “Blaster” album…except this song is far better produced and mixed

It’s All Indie Reviews “Waterfall” A Storming New Track

“A Track That Doesn’t Hold Back”

We are stoked to announce that our second single, “Waterfall,” has been featured and reviewed by the tastemakers over at It’s All Indie. Known for spotting the best in the UK and global indie scenes, their feedback on our latest release has been incredible.

The review highlights the energy of the song right from the first note:

 

“’Waterfall’ is one of those storming tracks that doesn’t hold back from the get-go. With a driving rhythm and an infectious melody, The Daytime High have crafted a song that demands your attention.”

The Story Behind the Single

“Waterfall” was written to capture that feeling of being overwhelmed by momentum where everything is moving fast and you just have to ride the wave. We wanted the production to reflect that, using soaring guitars and a relentless beat that mirrors the power of the title itself.

KMasters Digger Reviews “Waterfall” https://thedaytimehigh.com/kmasters-digger-reviews-waterfall/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=kmasters-digger-reviews-waterfall Thu, 02 Feb 2023 02:40:14 +0000 https://thedaytimehigh.com/?p=6632 Read more at The Daytime High

We’re keeping the energy high with another incredible review of our second single, “Waterfall.” This time, the team at KMasters Digger took the track for a spin and shared their thoughts on our evolution as a band.

From Shoegaze to Uptempo Energy

The review notes that after the success of our debut track “Reaper,” we’ve shown a real talent for shifting styles. While our earlier work leaned into “shoegazing and slap riffs,” KMasters Digger highlights that “Waterfall” marks our return to a more uptempo rock sound that keeps listeners hooked. It’s that versatility that we’ve been working hard to cultivate in the studio.

A Message of Non-Conformity

The lyrics were a major talking point for the blog, as they touched on the universal theme of wanting to belong while simultaneously facing alienation from the world. As the review put it, the track is about “charting our own way and not conforming”—a sentiment backed by power chords and an energy that they simply “dig.”

Rooted in the Greats

It was also great to see our influences recognized, from the timeless melodies of The Beatles and The Kinks to the grit of The Clash, Nirvana, and The Foo Fighters. Being called “the new big boys on the block” by a platform like KMasters is a huge compliment as we continue to build our reputation in the indie rock scene.

It’s always incredible to see our sound travel across the globe. We were recently featured by Music Arena Gh, and their review of our second single, “Waterfall,” really captured the growth and craftsmanship we’ve been striving for since our debut.

A Melodic Build-Up with a Dark Twist

The review highlights the “solid melodic build-up” that opens the track, noting how the progression carefully crafts a “subtle dark layer” that expands as the song moves forward. We’ve always been fans of music that evolves and surprises the listener, so it’s great to see that dynamic being recognized.

Crafting the Sound

Music Arena Gh was kind enough to mention the individual contributions of Micael, David, and Rich, noting how the layering of guitars, percussion, keys, and drums creates a specific “feeling” for the listener. They described us as a “promising band” with the potential to rub shoulders with the greats in the rock fraternity—praise that we don’t take lightly!

The Contradiction of Belonging

The review hit the nail on the head regarding the lyrical themes. They described “Waterfall” as a song about the conflicting feeling of wanting to belong to something or someone while simultaneously preferring to be alone. That push-and-pull between connection and solitude is at the heart of the track, and we’re glad that narrative resonated with the writer.
