DYGL release nostalgic new single ‘Crawl’ ahead of upcoming EP
Tokyo-based indie rockers DYGL (pronounced “day-glo”) have shared their latest single, ‘Crawl,’ now available via Easy Enough.
‘Crawl’ is a jangle pop/post-punk fusion, filled with infectious energy and nostalgia. The track’s upbeat melodies are accompanied by intricate, shimmering guitar work, all anchored by a rhythmic bassline and driving drums. Akiyama’s vocals exude the indie rock charm of the 90s and early 2000s, guiding listeners through a vibrant and danceable soundscape that culminates in a lush, reflective outro.
Reflecting on the single, DYGL said:
“We feel like making music that makes people dance more, which people can feel by their body more than their ears. We celebrate the sounds of instruments as well as vocals, more than ever. After the COVID situation settled, we started to get back the opportunity to experience live music in our daily lives, and it heavily inspired our creativity these days. It’s the song that includes the frustration of getting stuck in the same place, but also having some ambition to leave there to be free.”
With ‘Crawl,’ DYGL once again showcases its knack for blending vibrant melodies with introspective lyrics, leaving listeners eager for the full EP release later this year.
