Dayglow

artist bio

There is, too, much to unpack in 'Harmony House' itself: the project began life, according to Sloan, as an imaginary sitcom, musically drawn to piano-driven soft rock from the late ‘70s, and the euphoric, immortal pop of the early ‘80s (Whitney Houston, Hall & Oates). Having written a song like 'Medicine' in his college dorm - Dayglow writes, produces, records and mixes everything himself - he also found himself watching a lot of Cheers; the long-running show that took the viewer to a place where, as the theme song goes, “everybody knows your name.” Gradually, this impossible nostalgia for something that had never been real began to manifest itself in the young Texan pop star's escapist, hugely accomplished and always uplifting new album. “Harmony House' is about dealing with change and realizing that change is ok, that everything changes and it doesn’t have to be overwhelming,” Struble says. What's emerged is a finely calibrated, carefully fussed over expression of encouragement for anyone who needs it: a timeless but timely pop album about growing up, and truly the ‘Harmony House’ that Dayglow built.
