Under the name
Dayglow, Texas-based singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Sloan Struble creates catchy, effervescent, guitar-based indie pop. His home-recorded, self-released 2018 debut,
Fuzzybrain, went viral, earning him a spot at Austin City Limits Music Festival, a label reissue, and plenty of indie buzz. He kept the buzz alive with 2021's Harmony House and returned in 2022 with People in Motion.
Growing up in the town of Aledo, Texas, near Fort Worth, Struble began recording music at the age of ten when a friend showed him how to use GarageBand on his computer. The dearth of musical collaborators in Aledo eventually led him to learn multiple instruments, and throughout his teenage years, he recorded music by himself in his bedroom, taking influence from a variety of artists from
Phoenix to
James Taylor. In 2018, just as he left home to attend college at University of Texas in Austin, he self-released his debut album,
Fuzzybrain, using his stage name,
Dayglow. Bolstered by the catchy single, "Can I Call You Tonight?," the record began picking up steam amid the burgeoning bedroom pop community and streaming platforms, where it amassed millions of plays. While trying to juggle a college freshman's academic workload, his music career began taking off with appearances at SXSW and the Austin City Limits Music Festival as well as a tour offer with popular indie band
COIN. Also in 2019,
Fuzzybrain received a physical release on vinyl and cassette via Nashville's Acrophase Records.
The dancey, '80s-influenced single "Close to You" arrived in early 2021 as the first track released off
Dayglow's sophomore full-length, Harmony House. In October 2022, he returned with his third album, People in Motion. Also self-produced, it featured the upbeat and sunny single "Then It All Goes Away." ~ Timothy Monger
