Ruben Dawnson is the finest fuzzy and groovy indie pop

Norwegian talent Ruben Dawnson is a new kid on the block you need to get behind following the release of his single ‘SAYIMGOOD’.

The indie pop gem bounces and reverberates with fuzzy guitars and paradoxically upbeat percussion, while the genuine sentiments of Dawnson’s feeling is further highlighted by the lo-fi production.

The drums on ‘SAYIMGOOD’ is groovy as hell as Dawson’s signature raw honesty and visceral emotion can be found within those questioning lyrics, “why are you so unenthusiastic, huh? / Why you always gotta be so drastic?

Speaking about the track, Oslo-based Ruben Dawnson said: “This song, like the whole EP, is very introspective. It revolves around the feeling of not being in a healthy state.

It switches back and forth between singing to myself in third person, and from myself in first person – which symbolises a certain duality and disorientation. Self-love and self-criticism.”

The track is the second taste of a newly announced debut EP, Echo Emotions, which is set to drop on May 8th. Listen below and leave your ICM Rating out of 10!
