Dayglow | Balcony
Sloan Struble, known as Dayglow, has shared a new track from his upcoming album Harmony House. “Balcony” is the third song we’ve heard from the Texas artist’s sophomore album, which arrives on May 21.
“I wrote Balcony quite a while ago, but it’s been through tons of phases & revisions before landing on this final version. I wanted to make a song that felt like The Cure, Broncho, and the Mario Kart Soundtrack huddled up. Not sure why— it just feels nice,” wrote Struble about his latest material.
The 21-year-old musician released his past two singles “Woah Man” and “Something” back in April and February. Dayglow’s set to go on tour this year and is scheduled for a show at Stubb’s on September 10.

Joywave | Every Window Is A Mirror
Joywave have shared the title track from their upcoming EP Every Window Is A Mirror. This follows their 2020 album Possession.
In a press release, frontman Daniel Armbruster said their new single centers on ones lack of consideration to someone else’s personal experiences. “Despite our best efforts, we’re still bound by our bodies, class, upbringings, etc. You may think you’re looking out the window, but you’re still standing in a house somewhere fogging up the glass.”
The new EP arrives on June 25. Stream the title track below.
