DYGL to release first album in approximately 3 years, produced by recording all instruments simultaneously in one take
DYGL's new album "Who's in the House?" will be released on CD and digital on August 13.
"Who's in the House?" will be DYGL's first full album in approximately three years, since "Thirst" released in 2022. This work was created without a metronome, by recording all instruments simultaneously in one take, resulting in a texture brimming with a live feel. Mixing was handled by American engineer Stephanie "Slozzaa" Loza, who has also worked on projects for Remi Wolf, Duckwrth, and Masego.

DYGL "Who's in the House?" self liner notes
Just Another Day
Narrative post-punk-influenced vocals ride on a garage rock / punk / indie rock texture.
The feelings of repetitive daily life, impatience, and the drive to move forward are amplified by repetitive lyrics and a repetitive groove.
Who's In My House
The song that became the album title. It's a danceable, funky, yet somehow cheerful and approachable track.
While simple, it is rich in song development variety, and the saxophone played by bassist Yotaro Kachi, which appears in the latter half and is reminiscent of free jazz, signals a new chapter for the band.
Big Dream
A simple and solid number that hints at a new DYGL. Like the following "Just Another Day," there's a fresh imbalance of narrative post-punk-influenced vocals over a garage rock performance, but it's interesting to see combinations, such as elements of hard rock, that haven't been mixed in before appearing in various places.
It's a song that evokes the band's confidence and their anticipation for the future.
This Minute
A song that fully showcases DYGL's arranging skills as a band, the tightness of their performance, and their experience.
The free development and uninhibited creativity born from sessions, along with a 60s-derived approach and modern post-punk vibes, are fused together.
While possessing an urban, meta perspective, it also embodies a straightforward love for rock music.
The constantly shifting rhythmic development offers listeners a fresh surprise, resulting in a unique song.
