‘Square Fifths’ is an ambitious track, one that spirals out in tightly drawn circles. It’s blistering and complex, shapeshifting before you’ve had the chance to catch your breath.
‘Workaround’ as an album draws inspiration from Afro-Caribbean influences as well as the syncopation of UK club music. Working with a unique team of collaborators, Dillon has crafted a debut that promises to be a landmark release for 2020.
