After a year that has seen the wide-spread release of an album and a stint in Los Angeles, DYGL look to close out 2016 with a new single. “Waste Of Time” is a shambling rock number, delivered in English and featuring a slightly tipsy vibe that seems to look back at the past, both lyrically and in how it takes influence from ’90s British rock.

It comes courtesy of Pablo Padovani of French group Moodoïd (and…I didn’t know this until the video dropped…was part of Melody’s Echo Chamber). But it could have been Hatsune…
