After a remarkable two-decade hiatus, Dave Bush—formerly known for his drumming prowess—is poised for an exciting comeback under his new artistic moniker, Skytinual. Set to release two albums through Peace Army Music, Skytinual is ready to re-enter the spotlight with his upcoming debut album, Yes Yes Let’s Hope, slated for 2024. The album’s first single, ‘Still Love You (At the End of Time)’, has already begun to generate buzz and anticipation.

Skytinual is the artistic rebirth of Dave Bush, an accomplished drummer and independent artist whose past collaborations include Grammy-winning musicians. After a hiatus of nearly 20 years, he returns with an alt-pop sound that embodies his life experiences and spiritual growth. Skytinual’s music is poised to reconnect with listeners and introduce a new chapter filled with personal insight and creative vision. “In many ways, I’m a much different person now, and wanted a new artistic identity,” Bush states. ‘Skytinual’ marks that reinvention. The sky is both ageless and continually changing. I relate to that seeming paradox, and ‘Skytinual’ embodies that feeling to me.”

Skytinual’s career has been anything but ordinary. He’s performed with notable Grammy-winning artists and even released his own independent project before stepping away from the industry in the early 2000s. Reflecting on his career shift, Skytinual recalls, “When I told Lisa Loeb that I was too busy to join her band even as ‘Stay’ was hitting #1 on the charts, that was the turning point. While crazy in retrospect, I was just getting interested in my music and knew I had to pursue my own path as an artist – wherever it took me.”

This new chapter is marked by Skytinual’s evolution into an alt-pop sound infused with introspective lyrics and a touch of 1980s nostalgia. The name ‘Skytinual’ itself symbolizes this reinvention. “The sky is both ageless and continually changing,” Bush explains. “I relate to that paradox, and ‘Skytinual’ embodies that feeling for me.”

Skytinual’s latest single, ‘Changing Light’, delves into the themes of impermanence and the ever-shifting nature of existence. Inspired by his long-standing zazen meditation practice, the song poses philosophical questions through its verses—“Are we coming, are we going, which is right?”—while the chorus serves as a repetitive mantra: “changing light, changing life.” The song’s creation was influenced by a personal experience; Skytinual wrote the lyrics in just a couple of hours during a 24-hour stay in Charlotte, North Carolina, amid the CrowdStrike outage. “With a dear friend and two family members engaged in major cancer battles, this year has really brought the fragility of life to the forefront. The song isn’t dark; it’s a meditation on change, an embrace of all possible futures,” he shares.

The single features Kevin Scott of Government Mule on bass, while Skytinual performs all other instruments, crafting a unique blend of modern alt-pop and vintage influences. ‘Changing Light’ marks a bold and hopeful new direction for the artist, signaling the arrival of his thoughtful and innovative sound.

Skytinual’s upcoming album, Yes Yes Let’s Hope, and its 2025 follow-up promise to offer fans a profound, reflective, and musically rich experience. The single ‘Changing Light’ is just a taste of the exciting, multi-layered work Skytinual is ready to share with the world.
