DAZY – “BIG PROBLEM” & “GRAVITY”

Ahead of their shows supporting Sleaford Mods , Dazy have shared a new two-song single. “I think at the end of the day I pretty much make singer-songwriter music,” James Goodson says. “It’s usually just simple chord progressions and vocal melodies, but I like the idea of taking those fundamentals and finding ways to bend the presentation.
