After the success of their 2023 debut album YUSSUS, British rockers Dude Safari welcomed 2024 with their new single High in the Clouds on the 12th of January via Pretty Thing Records. Described by the band as “a sort of dreamlike song, the lyrics relate to fears, phobias and introverted thinking. The un-attachment from the daily grind. The escapism of sleep sometimes feels like the only reset button to turn your brain off and explore.” High in the Clouds will easily slip into your “On Repeat” playlist with its dreamy atmospheric vibes and massive flooding melodies, let me tell you more about it.
Dude Safari’s High in the Clouds is a pure grunge classic that instantly grabs grunge fans’ ears, sending them into a sweet nostalgic black hole. Their big, open sound and catchy riffs created an irresistible wall of sound that carries the listeners throughout the song’s highly dynamic structure while providing a powerful melodic flow, adding an emotional heart-hitting layer and creating a deeper connection between Dude Safari and their listeners. High in the Clouds has an expressive vocal melody with powerful delivery and shifts, matching its blasting hooking structure and guiding the listeners through its smooth twists and turns keeping them on board and fully entertained from the first to last note.
Dude Safari’s clever writing skills are pretty clear in the way they paid tribute to their deep grunge rock roots while creating their own sound, showing their sense of melody and well-knowledge of their sound and direction as they steered through High in the Clouds’ irresistible flow. Looking forward to more from Dude Safari, keep on rocking guys. Cheers!
