David De La Garza, aka DLG., serves up indie music with a rich sense for crafting snapshots of intrigue. His latest single “Aperol” captures a moment suspended between hope and hesitation – young love that’s one could say is about the thrill of the unknown.
The song’s dreamy production, evocative of Tame Impala’s sweeping atmospheres, supports DLG.’s vocals that carry the easy sincerity of Mac Miller. But beneath the smooth exterior lies a story of risk and vulnerability—set during a sweltering New York heatwave, a spontaneous visit that felt like chasing a feeling as much as a person.
“Aperol” refuses to tidy up those messy early emotions. Instead, it lets them linger, wrapped in sun-drenched synths and a wistful groove that pulls you in without demanding to be heard. It’s a track that hints at the complexities ahead, not just for DLG. but for anyone who’s ever dared to fall fast and wonder what comes next.
As fall tour dates approach and the debut album looms, “Aperol” feels like a soft but purposeful declaration—this is an artist not afraid to lean into uncertainty and let the music speak for itself.
