The Oakland based indie dream pop artist, Day Wave (aka Jackson Phillips) has released a new single entitled We Try But We Don’t Fit In. Day Wave is great at writing charming songs about being awkward. We Try But We Don’t Fit In is melodious and pleasing to the ears. The mix of self depricating lyrics and saccharin sweet tonal progressions can be considered a manifestation of what it’s like to posess a soft side while having to endure the prickly, if not sharp edge of the effects of city life and maintaining balance in an outgoingly aggressive social scene. This awesome artist is set to release his debut EP, Headcase on July 17th. Until then, check out this new track.
