Dragon Pilots find their way in the noise with the delicate and soulful new “Dear Mylah.” The latest single from the Napavine, Washington-based indie pop/rock duo strikes a totally different emotional feel.
It is built around lean instrumentation and a profoundly human message, and “Dear Mylah” is striking not just for its simplicity but for the emotional baggage it bears. The song is a raw, spare love letter as a gift in song to Zeedyk’s daughter, a meditation on loss, memory, and eternal connection. The song, produced, engineered, and co-written by Ken Stringfellow of the Posies, never attempts to overreach, and it doesn’t need to. The passion is real, and the sincerity is loud.
Adding to the personal nature of this release is the band’s story background. Dragon Pilots got its start in 2023, when the band’s chief songwriter, Dave Zeedyk, heard his wife, Regina, singing along to Savage Garden on the couch and figured he must be sitting on some undeniable potential. The name “Dragon Pilots” actually reflects the couple’s mutual adoration for the wistful video game Spyro the Dragon, anchoring their musical journey in something both fun and collective.
“Dear Mylah” is the kind of moving gesture that replaces bombast with openness. The song allows room for you to feel, think, and heal. Regina’s singing is soft and restrained, yet vividly expressive. Dave’s nuanced musical artistry sets the stage for an emotional journey being drawn. This is music that chases meaning. And in doing so, it won its way into the hearts of everyone willing to sit with its quiet power. The single is available to stream on Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal, as well as on all other platforms, and can also be downloaded on Bandcamp. On “Dear Mylah,” Dragon Pilots make the case that they’re more than a charming indie rock duo with a cool band name. They’re storytellers who craft letters that resonate for a long time.
