Dion Lunadon (The D4, ex-A Place To Bury Strangers) is due to release his sophomore album Beyond Everything on June 10th, 2022 via In The Red Records, following his self-titled first album in 2017. The first single, Living And Dying With You, is paired with an animated video directed by Mexico City-based artist Julián Name.
Dion comments: “This was the last song written for the record. I think it’s a pretty romantic idea. ’Til death do we part' kind of stuff. The title says it all. I came up with the video idea as a straight narrative of the song. Julián and I decided to use animals instead of humans as the characters. Different species getting along and getting it on.”
Living And Dying With You is a straightforward endeavor, a ferocious rocker in the spirit of The D4 with a strong garage rock flair. The new album, written, performed, and recorded by Dion, delves into a genuine, visceral intensity and emotion. Blaze Bateh (Bambara) and Nick Ferrante (The Black Hollies) played the drums on the album.
“The record was written and recorded sporadically between 2017 and 2019,” says Dion. “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 second 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.”
Dion will also be touring with a full band in North America and Europe/UK throughout 2022.
