Dillon Morton aka LUST wrote us last week to announce the release of his Dark Water EP. Each of the three tracks on this electro disco release build nicely, yet mysteriously and are clouded by a darkness (hence the title) not found in his previous offerings. The opening song Love Scene has some sound to it that emulates the dark and empty industrial warehouse of the stereotyped horror movie . The last 30 seconds of the track Dark Water sound to me like the killing music of the shower scene in Psycho. I wish I could have listened to this in total darkness during the power Blackout we had here in San Diego a few weeks ago in order to submit to the good-natured horror that is intended.
“When I began writing the Dark Water EP, I wanted to create a dark disco-noir sound that came off as an erotic horror movie soundtrack. Each song, with the help of interludes, moves the EP through several different settings I had envisioned as scenes, although the story is not important just yet… Enjoy the coaxingly sensuous mystery that is Dark Water.” – LUST

Jack of all trades, master of none. This expression has no pertinence to Dillon Morton as a young artist, designer, DJ, and clothing line owner. Originally from Portland, Dillon is now a Colorado resident attending the University of Colorado at Boulder. I came across Dillon’s designs because he did the cover artwork for Flashlight’s EP which was featured last week. I sent the link to his site over to my Denver friend, Ryan, who in true scene fashion said “That’s my homie fool.” What a small, marvelous world it is. His artwork is sophisticated and elementary, clean and sloppy. His designs are relevant yet more advanced than the other album artwork (this isn’t simply putting text on top of a photo) out there right now. His music has a great electronic energy and I’m LUSTing for more, Ed Banger take notice. Then there’s the clothing line. When I think of it, this post could have been 4 separate posts. That’s what our genius features are all about. Dillon Morton is a Jack of all trades, master of all.
