Dayglow with Teenage Dads
Over the last few years, Dayglow has cemented himself as an indie pop innovator with his vibrant, vivid, and memorable music. The Texas-native singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer (a.k.a. Sloan Struble) floods every song with uncontainable and undeniable energy. As such, he's emerged as a Multi-Platinum Certified phenomenon, generating billions of streams across his mixtapes Fuzzybrain [2019], Harmony House [2021], and People In Motion [2022], while serving up viral hits including the Double Platinum "Can I Call You Tonight," Platinum "Hot Rod," and Gold "Close To You," with the former being 2020's biggest independent alternative hit and peaking at #2 at Alternative and AAA Radio. Since bursting onto the scene, he's sold out headline tours across the globe and graced festival stages including Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, Firefly Music Festival, Outside Lands, Reading & Leeds,
Corona Capital, and more. His live performances have shined everywhere from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to Austin City Limits TV. Along the way, he picked up critical acclaim from Billboard, NPR, UPROXX, American Songwriter, NME, Euphoria Magazine, and Ones To Watch to name a few. Signing to Mercury Records in 2024, Dayglow continues to shape every level of his bright and bold vision on the new single "Every Little Thing I Say I Do" with more to come.
~~~~~~~~~~
On his full-length debut Fuzzybrain, Austin-based artist Dayglow reveals his rare gift for illuminating emotional pain in a way that not only resonates, but ultimately makes that pain feel lighter. With its bright textures and effervescent melodies, glistening guitar tones and radiant vocals, the album instantly invites a dreamy euphoria, even as it gets incredibly candid about isolation and anxiety and loss.
"For as long as I've made music, it's been my goal to use it to help people feel better, and hopefully treat each other better," says the singer/songwriter otherwise known as Sloan Struble. "I believe that all art can do something good for the world, as long as artists can recognize its potential and embrace that responsibility."
Gracefully threaded throughout the album, the optimism of Fuzzybrain is both hard-won and palpably sincere. Originally from Aledo, Texas--a Fort Worth suburb he refers to as a "small, football-crazed town"--Struble felt irrevocably out of place for most of his adolescence, eventually turning to music as a purposeful escape from his surroundings. "I didn't really feel connected to what everyone else in my school was into, so making music became an obsession for me, and sort of like therapy in a way," says Struble, now 20-years-old. "I'd just dream about it all day in class, and then come home and work on songs instead of doing homework. After a while I realized I'd made an album."
True to the intensely personal nature of Fuzzybrain, Struble kept the project entirely to himself all throughout its creation. "Usually artists will have demos they'll bounce off other people to get some feedback, but nobody except for my parents down the hall really heard much of the album until I put it out," he says. Soon after self-releasing Fuzzybrain in fall 2018, Struble began earning widespread attention for the album, drawing an online following struck by the pure positivity of Dayglow's output. "People have been really kind about getting in touch with me and telling me that the album makes them happy, or that it's helped them through a rough time," he says. "That was my greatest goal for it, so it's amazing to hear that people feel that way."
Working completely on his own with a miniscule collection of gear--his guitar, computer, some secondhand keyboards snagged at Goodwill--Struble created Fuzzybrain by transforming his private outpouring into a batch of songs often grandiose in scale. On the title track, for instance, he lets off a barrage of lyrics likely to strike a chord with the hyper-introspective ("Scattered mind, I call it a friend/I wish I thought a bit less and spoke up instead"), simultaneously sweetening the mood with swooning melodies and luminous synth. One of Fuzzybrain's most melancholy moments, "Dear Friend," offers up a tender serenade to an old pen pal, its sensitivity both heart- crushing and beautifully refreshing ("I know the world is changing quickly/And I couldn't tell you why/It's beyond my understanding/But I'd love it if we tried"). And on "Hot Rod," Dayglow delights in a bit of good-natured insolence, spiking the track with a tempestuous guitar solo and breezily delivered lyrical digs (e.g., "I'm sorry for not wanting to be your décor").
