FRIDAY DINGERS - 20.02.26

Eythor Arnalds - ‘Promenade nr. 7’

Eythor Arnalds shares ‘Promenade nr. 7’, a cello-led neo-classical piece from his upcoming album ‘Music for Walking’ (out May 29, 2026), continuing his blend of ambient atmosphere and cinematic composition. Designed as part of a “Promenades” series meant to accompany footsteps and thought, the track gradually builds from a minimal motif into a quietly expansive swell, paired with a film set around Þingvellir that connects the music to memory, landscape, and the elemental pull of water.

j dylan paul - ‘love sonnet for mikey’

j dylan paul’s debut LP ‘i didnt ask to be a bird’ channels yearning, dependency, and emotional disorientation into a raw, shape-shifting body of work that moves from surging, distortion-laced highs to fragile, piano-led confessionals like ‘take me’, before returning to its initial catharsis. Anchored by singles including ‘love sonnet for mikey’, the album was forged through close-knit queer collaboration and years of creative perseverance, emerging as both a personal reckoning and a collective declaration of artistic defiance.

Daniela - ‘Bésame’

Daniela’s latest release ‘Bésame’ is a sultry, rhythm-driven pop track infused with Latin and tropical influences, capturing the spark of instant chemistry and the joy of being fully present through hypnotic guitar lines and layered percussion. As the Mexico City–born, Texas-based independent artist steps into a renewed creative era following her studies at RADA, the single signals a confident new phase defined by artistic freedom, growing live momentum, and a deepened commitment to connection and self-expression.

Emily Ryan - ‘All The Time’

Emily Ryan’s latest track ‘All The Time’ explores the lingering pull of unresolved feelings, pairing atmospheric production with confessional lyrics that capture the mental loop of unwanted attachment. The Detroit-born, NYC-based artist continues to build momentum with her intimate, detail-driven songwriting, turning private emotional tension into polished, relatable pop.

FAEDA - ‘Look Me In The Eye’

FAEDA begin 2026 with ‘Look Me In The Eye’, a high-impact indie-rock track that wrestles with dependence, identity, and the courage to reclaim your own direction, delivered through searing vocals and driving, hook-heavy instrumentation. Building on a surge of acclaimed live performances and major support slots, the Thurso quartet step forward with renewed confidence, signalling a pivotal chapter for one of Scotland’s fastest-rising alternative bands.
