Cereus Bright is the musical moniker of Knoxville, Tennessee-based songwriter, Tyler Anthony.As a budding indie-folk outfit, Anthony and his rotating band spent almost a decade touring the U.S. opening for elite musicians from diverse styles; from the chamber-folk of The Oh Hellos to the meta-modern country of Sturgill Simpson to the jam-pop of Phillip Phillips – amassing a tight following and honing their unique blend of modern folk and pop.
Life transpires between extreme ups and downs. However, all the magic happens in the middle. As if tracing an emotional fault line right down the center, Cereus Bright explores this space with
an intimate eye-for-detail and a universal appeal. The Knoxville, TN singer, songwriter, and artist
born Tyler Anthony magnifies fits of emotion in the form of magnetic hooks only to delicately
examine identity via inventive and immersive soundscapes.
Today Glide is offering an exclusive premiere of “Pink Sky,” a charming and dreamy work of indie-folk that wraps the listener up in breezy acoustics and subtle psychedelic orchestrations. The music carries a calming mood that pulls you into its embrace as Anthony meditates on that peaceful moment in the day that comes at the conclusion of magic hour.
Tyler Anthony elaborates on the track: “One of the more magical moments in each day is dusk –
when day creeps into night. At its best, it’s an invitation into slowing down, letting go of what has
(and hasn’t) been done, and drifting into a peaceful calm. Could every day end this way? What
about life itself?
Entering my mid-thirties, time has become a bigger theme – how quickly it moves, how much
pressure it applies. The passing of time feels intense and overwhelming. At my best, I’m able to
repress the feeling of urgency, but still, it takes work.”
