Dazies follows his instincts on fuzzy, impulsive alt-rock "Get Lost"

Originally from Nashville, Eddie Gore moved to New York determined not to follow in his dad’s musical footsteps. With his Dad working as a sound engineer, Gore headed to Fordham for business school instead, chasing something steadier. "I said, 'Hey, let's go to business school and let's try to make some money. I want some stability in my life,’.

Music caught up with him within a month anyway. At college, he formed Future Generations with friends he met almost immediately, and the band signed a deal, toured, and released an album. But as members grew older and priorities shifted, accelerated by the pandemic, the band drifted apart: "Some of the guys in the band decided that touring wasn't for them, and it just became harder. So I made a kind of an executive decision. I think Future Generations have come to an end, and I want to start something a little bit more my own.” That transition launched Dazies, Gore’s solo project, who launched their first EP back in 2023, and are now teasing a debut album, Eyes Repeating, with the punchy lead single "Get Lost.”

"Get Lost" formed in Gore's tiny home studio in his New York apartment. "I like to work late. I don't think my neighbours were happy.”. It was a song fuelled by a toxic situationship, and the track mirrors that frustration and release of an unsustainable, rocky connection. "The song kind of was reflecting this turmoil, because there's two parts of it. There's the verse that is really kind of aggressive. It has this driving bass and everything, but then the chorus kind of releases and opens up into a little bit more of this airy feeling. It's a release.”

He further explains that he was being "more vocally aggressive than I've really ever been on any other song," which you can hear through the muffled vocals and repetitive, ranting phrasing. Gore talks of listening to Gorillaz before creating "Get Lost," with the texture and looseness of the song fuelled by a desire to think quickly and dirty. After stumbling across the stems for "Feel Good Inc." by Gorillaz, he felt inspired by how "amateur" it seemed: "It seemed like a lot of it was very just like put a mic in front of the guitar. I was like, I just want to do something like that...I need to just put something down on tape, and just actually record and not even think about it.”

He used this as a creative method: "don't overthink it." Which worked. The song came together in about an hour. The guitar is his acoustic plugged straight into his computer, and the fuzzy, driving bass is the first patch he found in his software. "This is silly...but it was, you know, loud. So I like it." he explains. The raw, messy sounds built over that quick, instinctive first pass, layering into a track that keeps its late-night, unfiltered rage intact.

He finessed the track at Red Convertible Studios in Brooklyn and Gore tapped into Future Generations alumni Dylan Wells and Mike Sansevere (AKA Sans) where they recorded the whole album in just five intensive days. "It was intense but organised," Gore says. "I owe a lot to my guys, to Dylan and Mike, for their professionalism and their willingness to be there all day.” It's an intuitive process built on long-term friendship, one that let Gore hand off the parts he couldn't play himself, with Wells’ live drums and Sans' synth touches among them. The fruit of the 5-day marathon sessions, Eyes Repeating, is due to be launched October 23rd via Killphonic Records.
