In a recent move, Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Dylan Young, known as Way Dynamic, has signed with Jagjaguwar for a reissue of his album Massive Shoe and North American tour dates with Star Moles and Slippers. This reissue, released today, features the new song "Officially," which wasn't part of the original album. The track upholds the relaxed, pleasant atmosphere present in the rest of the album.
Young repeatedly mentions his newfound love for the person he met the week he wrote "Officially," acknowledging the song's joyous and melancholic nature. The songwriting process for "Officially" took place during Young's initial meeting with his girlfriend, resulting in a heartfelt love song. Additionally, the track touches upon the downside of being addicted to someone, as Young describes himself as a compulsive individual.
The album showcases a similar style to Nick Drake's work, with a more propulsive backbeat and lighter, airier mood. Fans can look forward to seeing Way Dynamic perform alongside Real Estate and Mac DeMarco in 2012, according to the artist's wish. The Massive Shoe reissue is available for pre-order on October 2nd through Jagjaguwar.
