Vertigo is out on september 4th
pre-save vertigo here
Dillon Jo’s latest single ‘Vertigo’ moves between waves of alternative rock, heavy shoegaze, and dreamy, wispy vocals that encapsulate the chaos of Vertigo’s story. Vertigo is the fourth single for Dillon Jo's debut album 'Guard Dog' which is out at the end of October. The song centres around spiralling in your own head, and the disruption it causes within yourself. Vertigo slowly builds and falls apart, perfectly capturing what a bad drug experience is like. The explosion of sound finalises the pent up feelings of anxiety and dissociation finally being released in a therapeutic, cathartic way.
‘“Vertigo, is one of the heaviest songs we’ve written. It was inspired by Georgie's experience with having a severe reaction to a drug and the aftermath that followed. The song builds slowly before exploding into something massive.”
— Betty Smith (guitarist/vocalist)

Dillon Jo's fourth single Good Person released June 12th and is a coming of age, relatable, alternative-rock ballad exploring the self-doubt and fear that can come from growing apart from people you once cared about. Through vulnerable moments and heavy distortion, it asks one lingering question: after all this time, do you still see me as a good person? The track merges melodic guitar with distorted, shoegaze tones while capturing the emotions of feminine rage, and yearning.
