Dylan Espeseth channels frustration, burnout, and emotional chaos into a surge of high-octane energy on his new single “Circles.” The fast-paced, hard-hitting track captures the dizzying feeling of being stuck in your own loop — running toward change but constantly pulled back by the same thoughts, the same fears, the same walls.
“I feel like I’ll never get better,” Espeseth says. “Everything just happens over and over. I make the same mistakes, relive the same anxieties, sit and stare at the same walls. No matter how hard I try I feel like my life is just a cycle of misery.”
Fueled by pounding drums, urgent guitars, and a melodic punch that channels early-2000s pop-punk through a modern emotional lens, “Circles” showcases Espeseth’s ability to turn self-doubt into an anthem. The track also marks the first taste of his debut full-length album, fully produced by the legendary Aaron Sprinkle (Anberlin, MxPx, New Found Glory) and set for release in 2026.
Espeseth’s roots in music run deep. Raised on a steady diet of vinyl records shared with his father and years in school orchestra, he developed an ear for both melody and emotion — pulling influence from Fall Out Boy and Dashboard Confessional to Juice WRLD, Lil Peep, and Bob Dylan. During the isolation of the pandemic, he reinvented his approach completely — teaching himself production, mixing, mastering, and recording while refining his sound and voice. His breakout song “Falling Faster” became a lifeline for fans seeking connection amid the noise, cementing his commitment to vulnerability and truth.
Now, with “Circles,” Espeseth continues to blur the line between pop-punk catharsis and emotional storytelling, creating space for listeners to feel seen — and scream along.
