DAZY RELEASES NEW SINGLE “UNREASONABLE PERSON” FROM MAXIMUMBLASTSUPERLOUD VOL. 2: 24 SONGS FROM 2023-2026 | NEW COLLECTION OUT OCTOBER 23

LAME-O RECORDS

Dazy (Richmond, VA-based musician/songwriter/producer James Goodson) today released his new song “Unreasonable Person,” the vibrant and rhythmic final single from MAXIMUMBLASTSUPERLOUD Vol. 2: 24 Songs From 2023-2026, out this Friday (10/23) via Lame-O Records. Recorded by Goodson at home and then mixed by feeble little horse’s Sebastian Kinsler, the song is built on a glitched-out vocal loop, driving drum samples, and an absolutely soaring chorus, demonstrating the musical leap taken by Dazy across MBSL Vol. 2’s expansive tracklist.

MAXIMUMBLASTSUPERLOUD Vol. 2: 24 Songs From 2023-2026 collects all of Dazy’s singles and EPs released over the past three years, and includes seven new songs. Previous singles “Ugly” and “Beat Change” saw praise and support from Stereogum, Consequence (‘Best Songs of the Week’ for “Ugly:” “The thing is just too damn catchy, too damn well-structured, and boasts the kind of expansive production usually reserved for Britpop acts or radio-friendly, fun-loving pop rock hits.”), KEXP (The Runcast podcast), The Line Of Best Fit, Alternative Press, New Noise, and more.

Dazy released MAXIMUMBLASTSUPERLOUD: The First 24 Songs in 2021, which charted a prolific first year of scrappy, drum machine-driven fuzz pop, and established Goodson’s fondness for shorter formats. “I guess maybe I get a little frustrated at the idea that music only counts if it’s coming out in like 10 to 12-song, 30 to 45-minute chunks, every two to three years,” he laughs. “It’s not that I don’t like albums, but I just also think it’s okay to write and release music at a different pace.” This is perhaps an understatement considering that, upon MBSL Vol. 2’s release, Dazy will have put out 71 songs since the project started in 2020, and just 12 of those are on his only full-length to date, 2022’s acclaimed OUTOFBODY.

Since then–in addition to co-writing songs on Militarie Gun’s 2025 LP God Save The Gun, co-writing and producing with up-and-coming Australian band Peace Ritual, and collaborating with electronic duo Bodysync (Ryan Hemsworth and Giraffage)–Goodson has been unleashing a cascade of standalone singles (BIG Problem b/w Gravity, “Pay No Mind (To The Signs),” “Forced Perspective”) and EPs (Bad Penny, I GET LOST (when i try to get found), IT’S ONLY A SECRET (if you repeat it)), usually released with no warning, each one growing sonically bolder.

Assembled with the additional new songs as MAXIMUMBLASTSUPERLOUD Vol. 2: 24 Songs From 2023-2026, it becomes clear that all of these releases weren’t just sporadic transmissions: they’re part of a bigger picture of personal and musical progression from a songwriter that’s steadfastly following his own path. “I guess even though Dazy doesn’t sound like typical lone singer-songwriter stuff, I started to accept that it’s a solo project and understand what that actually means to me,” Goodson explains. “Writing songs is how I process my life in real time, it’s not something that I only tap into in the context of an album cycle. I like the way short releases are sort of like snapshots, but they’re all part of a bigger body of work to me.” It might be a bit of an unconventional route, but for Goodson it was a more authentic way of channeling experiences into the songs. “A lot happened in the past few years–my kid was born, people I love passed away or got sick–just lots of real life,” he says. “When I listen to these songs I can really hear myself trying to figure it all out.”
