July Skies is the musical project of Antony Harding, an English musician whose work under this moniker is often characterized by its pastoral ambiance and reflective soundscapes. Drawing inspiration from the British countryside, childhood memories, and the poignant whimsy of fading nostalgia, July Skies crafts songs that are deeply evocative of the rural and suburban British landscapes.

Since the late 1990s, July Skies has been contributing to the genre sometimes referred to as "pastoral dream pop" or "landscape music". Albums like "Dreaming Of Spires" (2004) and "The English Cold" (2004) are imbued with the subtle histories and quiet dramas of England's fields and towns, gently blurring the lines between music and the aural texture of life's unnoticed moments. The ethereal quality of works such as "Where the Days Go" (2006) invites listeners into a reflective, tranquil world, while "The Weather Clock" (2008) and its associated EP provide a more focused thematic inquiry into time's passing. "At the Height of Summer" (2009) brings to bear a sense of completion and circularity to the emotional journey July Skies has taken its listeners on, echoing the ephemeral beauty of an English summer at its peak. Through Harding's distinct musical lens, July Skies remains a unique voice in the ambient and indie music scene, a project dedicated to capturing the intangible essence of time and place.
