Our Take

Mike Dillon's latest offering, "1918," is a rollercoaster ride of genre-bending madness that will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about music. Drawing on influences from jazz, punk, and everything in between, Dillon and his band have crafted a sonic masterpiece that defies categorisation.

From the opening track, "Quarantined," with its infectious groove and socially conscious lyrics, to the frenetic energy of "Virus," Dillon doesn't hold back. Each song on this album is a wild ride through his twisted musical mind, taking unexpected turns at every corner.

The instrumentation on "1918" is nothing short of mind-blowing. Dillon's skilled drumming ties everything together, while the addition of horns, keys, and various percussion instruments creates a cacophony of sound that somehow works perfectly. It's chaotic, yet somehow controlled.

Lyrically, Dillon is in top form, offering witty social commentary and introspective musings that will have you laughing one minute and pondering life's big questions the next. His delivery is as energetic as ever, with vocals that range from smooth crooning to guttural screams.

In short, "1918" is a must-listen for anyone who craves music that pushes boundaries and challenges the status quo. Mike Dillon may not be a household name, but with this album, he's sure to carve out a place in your music library for years to come. Sit back, strap in, and enjoy the wild ride that is "1918."
