The reason this album is self-titled is precisely due to this process, a complete acceptance of what Dayglow is: trusting in his creative process and, even more so, in himself.
It's great. This album, Dayglowis the first one with which I feel really confident, with which I really understood what I was doing and what Dayglow was, from there the eponymous concept arose. I felt self-aware, almost like the moment your light bulb turns on, I felt like I was starting over,” commented the musician.
With self-awareness also comes transformation, as the composer found a freedom never before developed, putting aside expectations, to get closer to what he wanted to achieve with his project. Dayglow It is an album of metamorphosis and a reflection of its interior: Dayglow It is not the project, but Sloan same.
