Instrumental guitarist and composer DARREN MICHAEL BOYD takes listeners on a haunting, atmospheric journey with “The Day Beneath Yesterday,” a standout track from his album Perpetual Night . Released January 25, 2026, the track blends dreamy, exotic textures with Boyd’s hard rock roots, creating an instrumental experience that is equal parts mysterious, melodic, and cinematic.

Described as Instrumental Spooky Surf , “The Day Beneath Yesterday” showcases Boyd’s approach to guitar-driven composition, where melody takes center stage and every note has a purpose.

“The Day Beneath Yesterday has a bit of a dreamy, exotic sound going on, while staying true to my Hard Rock roots. Melody is always my main focus – no wasted notes.”

The accompanying music video adds another layer of personality to the track, featuring Boyd putting a guitar through a particularly brutal visual experience. Eagle-eyed viewers may also spot a very special guest appearance from Bo the dog , who apparently had a great time watching a tornado of bubbles unfold during the shoot.

And as Boyd explains, the guitar had already reached the end of its useful life before filming, so no perfectly good instrument was harmed in the making of the video. Probably.

“The Day Beneath Yesterday” has also earned a notable distinction in Nashville, Tennessee, becoming the only instrumental Rock song currently in regular rotation on the JMA Network Music TV Channel .

Boyd’s momentum throughout 2025 and 2026 has been impressive. In 2026, he was nominated for three Josie Music Awards , including Instrumental Album of the Year for Perpetual Night , Instrumental Song of the Year for “The Day Beneath Yesterday,” and Musician of the Year – Guitarist .

His recent accomplishments also include having the Perpetual Night music video selected for the Tokyo Lift-Off Film Festival in 2026. In 2025, Perpetual Night won Best Music Video at The Alternative Film Festival in Toronto (ALTFF) , while Boyd became a three-time finalist with an honourable mention at the Guitarist Festival in Bosnia and Herzegovina . In 2024, he was named Composer of the Year at the Red Carpet Awards Show in Europe .

With Perpetual Night , Darren Michael Boyd continues to carve out a distinctive space where instrumental hard rock, atmospheric soundscapes, exotic melodies, and cinematic visual storytelling collide.

“The Day Beneath Yesterday” is out now.
