WHAT IT IS: Dayglow is the feel-good music project of Sloan Struble. While looking to artists like Michael Jackson and Tame Impala for inspiration, the energetic and eternally hopeful 20-year-old self-taught singer/songwriter/producer began working with Garageband at the age of 10 in his hometown of Austin. Struble dropped his 10-track debut EP, Fuzzybrain, in 2019, revealing an artist coming of age. A string of co-signs from NPR, Earmilk and NME, a sold-out U.S. tour, a coveted feature as YouTube Artist on the Rise and early support from Alternative radio are priming Dayglow to be indie pop’s next big thing.
