A guy from New Zealand in New York who makes Californian garage rock and spends most of his time touring Europe: Dion Lunadon is quite the globetrotter. And a workhorse, as “Memory Burn” (Beast) is released just eight months after his last album.
This time it’s a mini-album, featuring six songs in 15 minutes. But it’s as strong as ever, oscillating between cool garage rock and intense punk.
Highlights include the washed-out “New York” and its quirky counterpart “Hollywood Blues.” Add in plenty of punk, and you have a tight, yet impressive, collection of songs.
