If you’ve been sleeping on Dylan Espeseth, now’s the time to wake up — because this guy is about to blow up. His brand-new single “Circles” is out today, and it hits with all the emotional weight of someone who’s been trapped in their head for far too long — but is finally fighting back. It’s glitchy, punchy pop-punk chaos in the best way, grounded by a raw honesty that’ll hit you right in the gut.
“Circles” is a release. It’s that moment when you’re stuck in your own loops — staring at the same walls, fighting the same fears — and suddenly there’s a song that just gets it. Espeseth writes like he’s been living inside your head and delivers with the urgency of someone who knows the stakes. When he sings, “I feel like I’ll never get better,” it feels less like defeat and more like catharsis — a shared scream between you and the speakers.
Coming hot off an opening slot for The Rocket Summer in Los Angeles, “Circles” marks the first taste of Espeseth’s debut full-length album, due out in 2026. And guess who’s producing? Aaron Sprinkle, the legendary alt-rock architect behind Anberlin, MxPx, and New Found Glory. So yeah, he’s got the backing — but more importantly, he’s got the vision.
Raised on vinyl hand-me-downs and schooled in both orchestra and DIY production, Dylan’s sound is stitched together from the heartstrings of early 2000s pop-punk and the emotional grit of modern emo-rap. Think Fall Out Boy meets Juice WRLD. Dashboard Confessional meets Lil Peep. The dude wears his influences loud — but his voice is unmistakably his own.
“Falling Faster,” his breakout track, proved he’s not just another emo kid with a DAW — he’s an artist with something to say. And now with “Circles,” he’s inviting us to scream along, feel seen, and break out of whatever loops we’re stuck in. Honestly? Exciting artist that deserves some serious attention.
Turn this one up. Trust us.
