Vibrant, upbeat, and jam packed with seemingly endless emotion, Gregory Dillon’s newest single “LSD” is an absolute trip from start to finish. Do yourselves a favor as we break down our thoughts on the track and give you a much needed background on this artist.

As the title “LSD” may suggest, this song comes with preconceived notions about what you might hear or experience. With all that being said, Gregory Dillon has still managed to subvert our expectations with something that breathes his niche artistic direction, all the while crafting a song that pulls on infinite influences. Accompanied by a visualizer (linked below), this is easily one of our favorite releases of the year so far, so don’t miss it.

Released via his independent label, Sad Magic Records, Gregory Dillon’s “LSD” has expressed himself on this song through personal experience and parallels of his father’s youth growing up in the 1970’s. In this scenario, he’s brought modernity into the mix with this song that creates a “pop-punk confessional” of a toxic relationship with the “promise of bliss that ultimately leads to disaster once again”. The wild thing is that for those who have experienced a psychedelic trip of any kind, sometimes the anxiety and uncertainty can be a redeeming factor, just like relationships. Honestly, what Gregory Dillon has shared here goes beyond the world complex for all of the things it makes you realize, try to avoid in the future, or just downright have no understanding of. On a purely musical level if you take out all the meaning (which you shouldn’t), it’s a totally catchy song that’ll undoubtedly be stuck in your head.

If for any reason this happens to be your introduction to the artist, across the board we can think of no better way to dip your toes into experiencing something new. The levels that this covers, along with the video that displays an immense amount of creativity, is really just the tip of the iceberg for everything that Gregory has involved himself in as of late. Without a doubt, “LSD” is an over the top winner in our eyes and ears, so please make it a priority.
