New Zealand-born, New York-based Dion Lunadon, former bassist of Brooklyn post-punk band A Place to Bury Strangers, has released his latest single “Gold Standard Love” via a limited edition 7″ flexi disc inside the fall issue of the illustrious CREEM magazine. 100 flexi’s inside 100 copies. Whoa. This crunchy, post-punk romp carries that signature NYC early 00’s rock revival sound, and part of that concoction is timelessness. A little Jonathan Fire*Eater, a little Pretty Hate Machine, and simultaneously fresh, the only downside is Lunadon not bringing this high-voltage sound to Austin on this current tour. But I’m putting that energy into the ether and in nabbing one of the lucky 100 copies.
