Thickshake – “Through the Daylight”

Thickshake is a multi-instrumentalist from Rockhampton, and his single “Through the Daylight” is a fun one. It came out in August 2024 and is built around a simple but super relatable idea, wishing you could stay home and spend the day with someone you love instead of heading out to work. That kind of small moment says a lot, and he runs with it in a way that’s light and easy to get into.

Thickshake handled the whole process himself, from writing to recording, mixing, and mastering the track at home, and this is very impressive and not all artists can do it. That kind of approach gives the song a unique and personal feel. For me, it’s a solid example of someone figuring things out as they go and still landing on something that feels clear and confident.

Thickshake also played a stripped-down version of the track live at the Rockhampton River Festival, which is cool to see from someone early in their journey. If you’re curious to hear what he does next, follow Thickshake on socials to stay updated on new music in the new year.
