- The Berlin-based singer-songwiter will release her first album in November.
Dillon will release her first album, This Silence Kills, in November on BPitch Control.
The Berlin-based artist, real name Dominique Dillon de Byington, puts a singer-songwriter spin on electronic pop. She is something of a YouTube discovery, having posted videos onto the site and gained a following which ultimately led to her first live performances in 2007. She went onto release her first EP Ludwig on a limited vinyl release on Combination Records the following year and collaborate with the Cologne group Coma on a digital single Aiming for Destruction, which was included on BPitch's Werkschau from last winter.
Dillon's album has been produced by Thies Mynther of Hamburg duo Phantom/Ghost and Tamer Fahri Özgönenc of collective MIT. The trio worked in Clouds Hill Recordings studio in Hamburg once a month for six months beginning in November of 2010. Dillon, who wrote all twelve songs on the LP, explains: "Driven by a situation, a human being, or a word I would sit at the piano and try to verbalize what I was feeling. This never took longer than perhaps 20 minutes: the birth of a song. Turning them into what they are today took days, weeks, months, years."
