Dayglow

Sloan Struble, a one-man indie-pop operation from Aledo, Texas, who writes, plays, produces and mixes everything himself. Fuzzybrain was recorded in his bedroom between his senior year of high school and his freshman year at UT Austin, and self-released in 2018. A textbook sleeper hit: the single sat largely ignored for two years, then took off in 2020 after Emma Chamberlain featured it, jumping from roughly 10 million to 100 million streams inside a year; it was later certified 2× Platinum in the US. He then signed to Polydor for the self-titled Dayglow (2024), expanded as Superbloom (2025).
