████ ████
████ Mike DillonÆs latest album æRosewoodÆ musically ████
████ signifies transition and transformation. The ████
████ 13-track collection was written and recorded ████
████ during a period of profound change. Dillon ████
████ found himself relocating from his fourteen year ████
████ base in New Orleans to his current residence in ████
████ Kansas City. This coincided with the beginning ████
████ a new relationship that would result in ████
████ marriage. Recorded intermittently between ████
████ January 2018 and September 2019, its 13 ████
████ majestic tracks swirl with the tangled and ████
████ bittersweet emotions of one chapter ending as ████
████ another began. Dillon created the album solely ████
████ with vibraphone and percussion instruments and ████
████ titled the record æRosewoodÆ after the type of ████
████ lumber used to make marimba bars. ████
████ ████
████ ôI started spending time in Kansas City in ████
████ August 2017, where IÆd previously lived in ████
████ 1997,ö explains Dillon. ôMy friend of twenty ████
████ years, Peregrine Honig, invited me to see her ████
████ beautiful art studio converted from an old ████
████ church building called Greenwood Social Hall. ████
████ By December, I brought my marimba there and ████
████ would play for hours. The songs on this record ████
████ wrote themselves in that sonically sacred ████
████ space.ö ████
████ ████
████ Furthering this metamorphosis, ÆRosewoodÆ also ████
████ finds Dillon, whoÆs been hailed ôa punk jazz ████
████ provocateur,ö shifting from the freewheeling, ████
████ anything goes aesthetic that informed his ████
████ primary touring unit, The Mike Dillon Band, to ████
████ a more conceptual and compositional approach. ████
████ HeÆd hinted at this side of his musical ████
████ personality with the 2016 album release ████
████ æFunctioning Broke,Æ as well as, three ████
████ performances with his 23-piece New Orleans Punk ████
████ Rock Percussion Consortium at The Music Box ████
████ Village. The introspective æFunctioning Broke,Æ ████
████ however, relied heavily on outside material, ████
████ including songs by Elliott Smith, Neil Young ████
████ and Martin Denny, while the latter performance ████
████ experiment required the massive energy ████
████ generated by two dozen musicians on percussion ████
████ and mallet instruments. On æRosewood,Æ Dillon ████
████ boils down the essence of those two projects ████
████ into a focused auditory journey, drawing almost ████
████ exclusively on his own compositions with ████
████ exception of two additional Elliott Smith ████
████ songs, ôTalking To Maryö and ôCanÆt Make A ████
████ Sound,ö along with the ghostly take on Johnny ████
████ Cash arrangement of the classic Trent Reznor / ████
████ Nine Inch NailsÆ song ôHurt.ö Dillon performed ████
████ all of the parts himself with exception of ████
████ contributions by drummer and frequent ████
████ collaborator Earl Harvin and the guiding hand ████
████ of DillonÆs old friend, recording engineer Chad ████
████ Meise. ████
████ ████
████ ôWhen I decided to record in Kansas City, I ████
████ immediately recruited Chad. He and I made ████
████ several Malachy PapersÆ records, the Go Go ████
████ Jungle album æBattery AcidÆ and the Mike Dillon ████
████ Band record æUrn.Æ Our chemistry in the middle ████
████ of a really bittersweet time for me simplified ████
████ the process. We layered the songs on 24-track, ████
████ 2-inch tape. Some songs I would start on the ████
████ vibes, other times I put on a marimba first ████
████ before fleshing out the rest. My old pal, the ████
████ incredible drummer Earl Harvin, visited KC from ████
████ his home in Berlin during the summer of 2018 ████
████ and played drum kit on several of the tracks. ████
████ By recording to tape, we captured the warm ████
████ relationship of the percussion/mallet family.ö ████
████ ████
████ All of the sounds on æRosewoodÆ are from ████
████ DillonÆs collection of mallet instruments ████
████ ranging from the rare Deagan Electric Bass ████
████ Marimba to the Deagan Electro Vibes, a 1942 ████
████ Leedy Marimba to his primary touring ████
████ instrument, the Majestic Electric Vibraphone, ████
████ running through a collection of analog peddles. ████
████ The only non-percussion sound was a synth on ████
████ ôBonoboö that was triggered by a MalletKat. The ████
████ crescendo of timpani and tabla pulsate beneath ████
████ the Sonic Youth-like layers of vibes on ôDroneö ████
████ set against the Kraut rock drumming of Harvin. ████
████ The ambient Steve Reich-inspired pulsations of ████
████ marimbas on ôVibes at the End of the Worldö ████
████ capture the feeling of being in New Orleans ████
████ when the Hurricane Gustav evacuation order was ████
████ given to Dillon back in 2007. There are also ████
████ several moments of joyful percussive optimism ████
████ with tracks like ôRumba for Peregrineö and ████
████ ôBeignetÆs Bounce.ö ôSober on Mardi Grasö was ████
████ composed in New Orleans on Mardi Gras Day 2019 ████
████ before Dillon marched behind Big Chief Monk ████
████ Boudreaux alongside Stanton Moore and Joe ████
████ Gellini. ôTiki Bird Whistleö and ôEarlÆs ████
████ Boleroö were also composed in New Orleans in an ████
████ apartment that was home for many NOLA ████
████ musicians, including Brian Blade, Doug Belote ████
████ and John Ellis. ████
████ ████
████ ôMuch of the feeling of this record is dealing ████
████ with the sadness of moving out of a great city ████
████ like New Orleans, but with the optimism of a ████
████ fresh start in Kansas City,ö explains Dillon. ████
████ ôTo this day itÆs hard for me not to say I live ████
████ in New Orleans. However, in reality, prior to ████
████ the pandemic, I lived a nomadic lifestyle in my ████
████ Chevy van going wherever the next gig leads me. ████
████ And yet now, in the age of Covid-19, weÆre ████
████ faced with change again. It is the only ████
████ constant.ö ████
████ ████
████ Mike Dillon has been an integral member of ████
████ bands including Garage A Trois, Dead Kenny Gs ████
████ and Critters Buggin. HeÆs served as a key ████
████ sideman to artists like Rickie Lee Jones, Les ████
████ Claypool and Ani DiFranco. HeÆs amassed an ████
████ extensive catalog of genre-defying recordings. ████
████ HeÆs taken to the road relentlessly, building ████
████ one of the most loyal underground fanbases on ████
████ the contemporary music scene, while being ████
████ invited to share bills with bands including ████
████ Clutch, Dean Ween Group and UmphreyÆs McGhee. ████
████ For nearly three decades, Dillon has played ████
████ exclusively by his own rules. With his latest ████
████ work, æRosewood,Æ he once again embraces the ████
████ philosophy of change and evolution. ████
