After releasing his self-titled debut album in 2017, Dion Lunadon (The D4, ex-A Place To Bury Strangers) is set to release his sophomore album - Beyond Everything June 10th via In The Red Records. Available for pre-order HERE. 

 

Today, Dion shares a brand new video for By My Side, which he produced in collaboration with Blau! Production. "This is a song that has taken on new meaning to me. It's one of those songs where the lyrics are up to the listener's interpretation, as opposed to a straightforward narrative. Lyrically, it evokes cinematic images more than a feeling. Musically, it all started with the idea of a strange dissonant hum that gives way to the song dropping. I love Hitchcock and crime movies, so the video is placing pictures to the score...Crime and dissonance." 

 

Also, just announced, Dion will be playing an album release party in New York at TV EYE on August 19th. Openers are Memphis TN band Sweet Knives and Brooklyn’s Cold Dice. Tickets are now on sale HERE.

 

Dion continues; “The record was written and recorded sporadically between 2017 and 2019. I probably wrote about 100 songs during this period. The first album was pretty relentless which I liked, but I wanted to make something more dynamic for the 2nd record. Something that could be more conducive to repeated listens. I’d get in my studio, come up with a song title, and start working on any ideas that I had. For example, with Elastic Diagnostic, the idea was to create a hum that evokes the sound of life coursing through your body. Everything else kind of formed around that idea.”

 

The lead single released in April, Living And Dying With You, was accompanied by an animated video by Mexico City animator, Julián Name, followed by a second video in May for It's The Truth, directed by Alexander Barton

 

Beyond Everything will be Dion’s first release on In The Red (an ideal match for his music), as well as his first full-length since departing A Place To Bury Strangers. Written, performed and recorded by Dion, the songs tap into a raw, palpable energy that blur the line between the music and the person. Drums on the record were played by Blaze Bateh (Bambara) and Nick Ferrante (The Black Hollies).

 

Dion will be touring with a full band in North America and Europe/UK throughout 2022. The US tour begins in Denver (some of the dates are supporting The Black Angels), with European and UK dates in November. All dates are listed below with more TBA. Tickets HERE

 

“An arresting, noise-infected dose of psych-garage.” (It’s The Truth) Brooklyn Vegan

 

“An amped up garage psych ripper.” (Living And Dying With You) Brooklyn Vegan

 

“A ferocious rocker.” (Living And Dying With You) Destroy Exist

 

“A gritty and raw glam-like anthem centered around chugging power chords, Lunadon’s howled and desperate delivery, forceful and propulsive drumming paired with an explosive feedback-driven coda, “It’s The Truth” further cements the Kiwi-born, Brooklyn-based artist’s reputation for crafting anthems meant to be played as loud as humanly possible.” Joy Of Violent Movement
