Debut album for the singer and pianist Dominique Dillon de Byington aka Dillon - she made a winding journey from brazil to berlin via cologne. Dillon is inspired by Billie Holiday, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jeff Buckley, and highly recommended by DJ Koze! Everyone knows that DJ Koze has prophetic qualities, and not just since he began dropping tracks under his guru pseudonym swhaimi. You see, many years before, he also waxed oracular about the singer Dominique Dillon de Byington, aka Dillon: "She sings comfortably imperfect and true. She has character. I like her. She has a bright future ahead of her." And that future once prophesied by the wise Hamburg resident about the young artist from Berlin is now, as Dillon has sat down at her piano many times during the past few years and written captivating, quiet songs that definitely should be heard extremely loud. 'This Silence Kills' has been co-produced by Tamer Zg nenc (mit) and Thies Mynther (phantom / ghost, stella) in Hamburg during winter 2011. Review fromRough Trade.
