Sydney’s indie rockers Highline return with “I Can See”, a shimmering, heartfelt anthem that captures the turbulence and tenderness of becoming who you are — one chorus at a time.
From Schoolyard Jams to Stadium Ambitions
Formed by a group of high school friends in Sydney, Highline turned lunchtime DMA’s covers into a full-blown creative journey. Since their early EPs, they’ve become known for blending brit-pop energy with emotive Australian indie storytelling, crafting songs that sit somewhere between The Kooks and Gang of Youths.
Their debut album, Shapes We Figure Out (2024), cemented them as one of the most promising young acts in the country. Now, heading into 2026 with their second album, The Afterview, Highline are leaning into a richer, more confident sound that reflects their evolution — tighter hooks, deeper lyrics, and the same restless spirit that started it all.
“I Can See” and the Clarity of Change
“I Can See” marks a turning point — both musically and emotionally. It’s a song about realization, that bittersweet moment when you see your life, your love, or your path with new eyes. Built around crisp guitar lines and an anthemic chorus, it echoes the optimism of youth meeting the honesty of experience.
The production feels bigger and brighter, yet the lyrics remain intimate — a hallmark of Highline’s storytelling. It’s a song that feels like driving through the suburbs at sunset: nostalgic, hopeful, and just a little melancholic.
