Boy’s Night Out members sg lilyy and d1v unite international forces with tonser on an explosive track
Expressions of angst are interconnected with youth. The duo are synonymous, a common assertion within the alternative community, but the collaboration of experimental artists tonser, d1v, and sg lilyy explore such struggles with a deeper, less predictable intricacy. There’s an edge to “Outdoor” beyond its brazen lyricism, which pores over relationship-based anxieties, longing, and scattered references to self-medication. Mixed and mastered by Scandinavia-based tonser, the production is a fitting companion to the trio’s catchy vocals. High in energy with bouncing tremolo synths, its experimental pop and electronic hybrid crafts an upbeat atmosphere, providing a bittersweet accompaniment to their troubled lyricism. There’s an upside to the angst they’re projecting, and the listener is taken through a series of emotions; experiencing the highs and lows each artist explores. Albeit subject to perhaps questionable flexes at times, “Outdoor” highlights the expressive capacity of each of its artists; their components work together to cultivate the track in such a way that demands attention from its listener.
