Dion Lunadon – Systems Edge (Vinyl)

Systems Edge from Dion Lunadon is a blistering third solo record that catapults listeners into a raucous world of garage rock brilliance. Hailing from New Zealand and now residing in Brooklyn, Lunadon bursts out of this new album with infectious energy and a sound that pays homage to the raw, gritty roots of rock n roll.

The album kicks off with the relentless Secrets, setting the tone for whats to come. From the opening riff, its clear that Dion is here to deliver a high-octane ride through the garage rock landscape. The production, while not polished, adds to the albums charm, capturing the essence of a live performance, making you feel as if you are right there in the dark.

Tracks like Diamond Sea and Rocks On showcase his ability to craft catchy, anthemic hooks. The distorted guitars and propulsive rhythms create an irresistible momentum thats impossible to resist.

Lunadons resume, of course, includes The D4, who released two albums on the legendary New Zealand label Flying Nun Records, and he played bass in A Place To Bury Strangers. His sound draws influences from garage rock pioneers like The Stooges and MC5 but injects his own punk-infused attitude and wall of distortion, giving the music on Systems Edge a contemporary vibe.
