Some say Dayglow just doesn’t miss, and we are often part of that group. The effervescent indie-pop project from Texas native Sloan Struble has a new album out this fall called People In Motion, set for October 7 release via AWAL, and yesterday (June 21) it dropped a colorful new tune in “Then It All Goes Away.”
As usual, it shines with Dayglow’s hyper-melodic ease and earworm gravity. In a world destined to make us all feel like shit, Dayglow continues to make us feel alright.
“I made ‘Then It All Goes Away’ after coming home from my 2021 U.S. Fall tour,” says Struble. “I started writing the bass line during my morning coffee and I finished the full composition by the end of the day. It felt so fresh and natural to write; I was just having fun honestly. It felt like a year’s worth of unconscious ideas all came to the front of my brain at once and just spilled out. I was really just thinking of my fans the whole time making it and imagining ‘how can I make a Dayglow song that feels so familiar, yet feels like a brand new experience entirely’?”
He adds:”I want everything I create to continue to get better and expand in imagination holistically, from songwriting to concept to production to video. I feel like I’m at a place now as an artist where I know my fans, I know myself, and I know what I want to do with this gift I’ve been given — my vision is now clear and I’m seeing full color.”
Dayglow takes the new record out on the road this fall, and included in the North American run is a November 18 romp at Boston’s House of Blues. Fire up “Then It All Goes Away” and scan all the tour dates below.
