Having released his second solo album ‘Beyond Everything‘ via In The Red Records back in June, Dion Lunadon (The D4, ex-A Place To Bury Strangers) is about to start a full-band Europan/UK tour throughout November.
Beyond Everything is 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 blurs 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 explains: “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 And a third, By My Side, which he produced in collaboration with Blau! Production.
