“His voice is out front, running raw and headlong into the unsteady (but rewarding) waters of vulnerability”

The FADER
Dijon has released his eagerly awaited EP, ‘How Do You Feel About Getting Married?’. Ahead of the release, he roused his fans with a teaser of an intimate and surreal performance of the opening track ‘do you light up?’ and now shares the full accompanying visual, along with another new video for standout track ‘rock n roll’, both directed by Jack Karazewski.

Dijon also released his collaboration with Charli XCX last week, entitled ‘pink diamonds’ from her new album ‘How I Feel Now’. Dijon’s ‘How Do You Feel About Getting Married?’ builds from the Americana-tinged, R&B palate he introduced on his debut EP ‘Sci Fi 1‘ as well as the striking visual world he’s developed through videos like ‘Bad Luck‘ and ‘CRYBABY :*(‘.
Speaking on the journey of making this EP, Dijon says: “Inspired by Lucinda Williams, Little Feat and Burial. Norah Jones, Octavia Butler, and The Cars. Joanie and living in Highland Park with her and the sound of pedal steel. Many friends came around to help with things and they shaped the record. How exciting to be motivated by people and to hear them talking and playing alongside you in a small room! Romance is all over these little stories, and so is disappointment and so is desperation; and they are little stories.
And maybe they all talk to each other? (Wheels within wheels).”‘How Do You Feel About Getting Married?’ marks a new chapter for Dijon after a momentous debut year following the release of his aforementioned debut EP ‘Sci Fi 1’. Since its release, he appeared on the cover of Brick Magazine, brought his striking live show to the world for the first time on tour with Omar Apollo, as well as sold out his own headlining tour, which included jaw-dropping performances at New York’s Bowery Ballroom and Los Angeles’ The Troubadour. Most recently, he was profiled in Document Journal, and was scheduled to hit the road with Vampire Weekend on a tour run kicking off at the end of May (those dates have since been postponed).
