DLG. Bottles a Summer Memory with “Aperol”

DLG. might just be your new favorite artist—and not just because his new single “Aperol” sounds like a golden-hour daydream. With over 50 million streams and an unmistakable sonic identity, the Austin-born, LA-based indie artist is building serious momentum ahead of his debut album. “Aperol” is a love letter to fleeting moments and first infatuations, wrapped in warm synths and sun-drenched production. Channeling the emotional honesty of Mac Miller with the layered, psychedelic textures reminiscent of Tame Impala, DLG. offers a timeless summer anthem that’s equal parts nostalgic and novel. What makes the track hit even harder? The story behind it. DLG. shares the memory of spontaneously flying to New York to see a girl he’d later spend four years with—wandering the city in a heatwave, sipping Aperol, and basking in the newness of it all. It’s a moment captured in amber, and now, sound. With fall tour dates announced and an album on the horizon, “Aperol” is just a sip of what’s to come.
