Picture it: A soft-focus shot of a bungalow on a leafy residential street. The single-story house is painted robin’s egg blue and there’s a young man in a plaid suit standing outside the front door in his bare feet. He waves at the camera as the title appears across the lower third of the screen: Harmony House. It stars the lovable one-man-band Sloan Struble, and though you’ve never watched this TV show before, it feels comforting. With that wave, Struble invites you into his world—and his new album.

Struble, who records music as Dayglow, explains that his sophomore album began life as an imaginary sitcom. He’d begun writing new music after the release of his runaway 2018 debut Fuzzybrain, and found himself drawn to piano-driven soft rock from the late ‘70s and early ‘80s. He was also watching a lot of Cheers, the long-running sitcom that took the viewer to a place where, as the theme song goes, “everybody knows your name.” “At the very beginning, I was writing a soundtrack to a sitcom that doesn't exist,” he says. The music would generate a kind of impossible nostalgia for something that had never been real.

Much of Harmony House is about growing up and coping with change; after Fuzzybrain, he left university and decided to fully commit to being a musician. During this time he found a collection of poetry in his family’s house that had been a favorite of his great-grandmother’s. A line of verse there became a lyric on “December,” his favorite song on the album: “So my friend, just remember every year has a December.”

“Harmony House is about dealing with change and realizing that change is ok, that everything changes and it doesn’t have to be overwhelming,” Struble says. In a perfect coincidence, an inscription in the front of the book indicates that it was a gift to his great-grandmother from a friend. Now the song is a gift to listeners around the world who might need a reminder that change is a necessary part of life’s journey. Like the gifted book of poetry, “December”—and Harmony House as a whole—is an act of kindness.

Struble was born and raised in Texas, and wrote the first song he recorded for Harmony House, “Medicine,” while still in his dorm room. After Fuzzybrain, which he wrote mostly on guitar, he decided to write for piano. At 21, he’s now out of school, but as he did on his debut, he writes, produces, records, and mixes all of his music himself—in his bedroom, no less.

“I tried to compose these songs in a way that you could just sit down at a piano and play them,” he explains. “That’s the sign of a good song, when it can live on its own musically.”

That sort of sturdiness he strives for in his writing makes for timeless music, a quality Harmony House exudes. Even when he’s writing about the sometimes overwhelming experience of contemporary life as it’s lived both digitally and IRL, as he does on the opener “Something,” the melodies are welcoming. In fact, there’s a recurring melody introduced on that first track that appears on every subsequent song. You might not catch it on the first listen, but it’s there anyway, like a gentle hand on your shoulder.

Beyond reassurance, the album also encourages you to get up and dance with its single “Close to You,” Dayglow’s first single in over a year, and the gateway to Harmony House. Indebted to ‘80s anthems about shy feelings of love, like Whitney Houston’s immortal “How Will I Know,” “Close to You” is like a duet between Struble and his feelings of self-doubt. But the synth’s propel him forward (and you to the dancefloor).

Harmony House is a finely calibrated, carefully fussed over expression of encouragement for anyone who needs it. The album ends with “Like Ivy,” a mellow return to the melodic theme introduced on the opening track that describes “growing up like ivy” and the mysterious passage of time. Struble’s boyish and gentle tenor explores its upper limits as he sings the big idea of Harmony House: “I’m learning to grow.” It’s a lesson that never ends.

At just twenty-one years old, singer/songwriter Ritt Momney has expertly infused emotion into his sound, crafting introspective records that are therapeutic for the man behind the pen as well as his listeners. The Salt Lake City native has recently gone viral thanks to his cover of Corinne Bailey Rae's "Put Your Records On," gaining steam on TikTok while soaring up the Spotify and Apple charts. As he enters the next phase in his career, Ritt Momney continues to spread messages of romance, realization, and rebellion.

It's much more than a spin on Mitt Romney's name. The artist, born Jack Rutter, knew from a young age that falling in line wasn't going to be a priority. Born in Dallas, Texas, Jack's family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah when he was around two years old. Growing up in a tight knit Mormon community, Jack's musical experience was relegated to the church, The Beatles, and radio hits. That was until he reached high school and stumbled upon James Blake's eponymous debut album, which arguably changed Jack's life.

"It was then that I realized music doesn't have to sound like everything else for it to be good," he admits. He kept searching for more music, diversifying his palate, listening to other artists like Earl Sweatshirt and STRFKR. His older brother was a musician, and Jack wanted to try it. He taught himself the piano and guitar, recording acoustic covers on his phone then posting them on SoundCloud. He graduated to GarageBand and then on over to Logic. "I felt like production was really fun for me," he says. "Why would I limit myself to piano and guitar when I could plug into a computer and have the sound of any instrument I wanted at my fingertips?"

Jack formed the band Ritt Momney in 2017 with some friends, and they released a song called "Young Adult," which gained some traction on Spotify. He then watched his friends all fall in line with the Mormon faith, and once he reached college he started to find some new friends. Eventually, Ritt Momney became just him, and in 2019 he released his solo effort Her And All My Friends. The project was poignant and moody, as Jack grappled with his girlfriend being away at college, his friends joining Mormon missions, and him questioning all of it.

On one of his album tracks "(If) The Book Doesn't Sell," Jack touches on his departure from the Mormon church. He describes: "When I first stopped believing in my church and religion in general, I immediately began looking for everything wrong with it. But when I finally worked up the courage to tell my parents I was atheist and we started talking about it, I realized it shouldn't be about who's right and who's wrong; it should just be about what works. And what works for you won't necessarily work for everyone else. All I'm trying to say with this song is that spirituality should be a personal endeavor."

Ritt Momney was slated to hit the road with Dayglow this spring, but due to COVID the tour got canceled. With newfound time on his hands, Jack recorded a cover of Corinne Bailey Rae's 2006 Grammy-nominated hit "Put Your Records On." The buzz continued to grow once he posted it online, and Ritt Momney immediately gained a level of notoriety Jack hadn't thought possible.

Currently, the newly signed artist to Disruptor / Columbia Records is readying his major label debut album. "I'd describe it as 'lyric-driven indie pop,' I guess," he expresses. The work will build upon the foundation he's already laid, which is honest songwriting mixed with intoxicating melodies. While the artist known as Ritt Momney may be rapidly gaining popularity, he maintains one major goal. "I think the main mission for me is to have fun making music," he says earnestly. "That's the only way I can do it well."
