New Zealand-born musician Dion Lunadon has released his latest single, “Gold Standard Love,” through a limited edition 7-inch flexi disc included in the fall issue of the renowned CREEM magazine. This exclusive release features only 100 copies, making it a rare find for fans and collectors alike.
“Gold Standard Love” showcases Lunadon’s signature sound, which draws heavily from the post-punk revival that characterized the early 2000s in New York City. The track combines elements reminiscent of bands like Jonathan Fire*Eater and Nine Inch Nails, offering both nostalgia and freshness. With its crunchy guitar riffs and driving rhythm, the song captures the energy of a vibrant music scene.
This release is particularly notable as it represents Lunadon’s return to the solo stage after his tenure as the bassist for A Place to Bury Strangers, a band known for its intense live performances and innovative sound. While fans may be eager to experience his new music live, Lunadon will not be performing in Austin during his current tour, leaving many hoping for future shows that could bring this high-voltage sound to more audiences.
