Daddy Lion unleashes fever-dream punk on new single ‘Falling Apart’

Underground powerpop outfit Daddy Lion return with ‘Falling Apart’, a high-octane dive into obsession, guilt, and emotional unravelling. The track finds the self-recorded band blending jagged surf punk energy with a dark emotional core—like Joy Division colliding with Jay Reatard at full speed.

Driven by a pulsing riff and urgent vocals, ‘Falling Apart’ captures the spiralling intensity of inner turmoil, transforming self-loathing into a cathartic sonic release. The track is the latest in Daddy Lion’s ongoing series of songs inspired by dreams, following the dreamlike but more ethereal tones of their previous ‘Dream Pop’ EP. This time, however, the mood skews far more anxious—like a lucid nightmare caught on tape.
