ARTIST MAINARTIST INFORELATED ARTISTSLINKSREVIEWS

Founding member and driving force behind the experimental Old Time Relijun, multi-instrumentalist Arrington DeDionyso spent most of his childhood in churches due to his minister parents. While his parents were working, DeDionyso occupied himself by playing around with the church's piano and organ. His parents noticed his interest and started him on piano lessons. Unhappy with the lessons, DeDionyso quit and forgot about playing music but continued to listen to ragas, African music, and whatever else the local library had to loan.

Malaikat Dan Singa is a collection of throbbing, hallucinogenic, trance-inducing trans-utopian cosmic post-punk sounds from Old Time Relijun's Arrington de Dionyso.

What the fuck? Arrington tells us that some of the lyrics are lifted from the poems of William Blake and passages from The Zohar. Mu   [ read more ]

VINYL FORMAT. This record is less the apocalyptic doom of his ramshackle post-punk group Old Time Relijun, and more of a raga influenced anthropological meditation. "This music winds like an infinite snake around the vine of a central note, probing hypnotically as Mr. de Dionyso inexhaustibly exhales mandalas, spirals, unknowable cuneiforms, and other beguiling shapes, while simultaneously driving the pulse and drone to advance, like a slow motion tsunami, towards a shocking climax of release" - Michael Gir   [ read more ]

Arrington de Dionyso is an energy conduit, driving through the nameless territories held between surrealist automatism, shamanic seance, and the folk imagery of rock and roll. Breath of Fire is Arrington's first true solo album, and its sounds are hysterical, intellectual, magical, hilarious, sad, ecstatic and beautiful.

On his ninth solo record and second for K Records, Arrington de Dionyso continues his exploration of Tuvan throat singing. Fans of his Gypsy punk/indie rock three-piece Old Time Relijun may have heard him warming up his voice at live shows, and for I See Beyond the Black Sun, he fills the entire disc with similar-sounding vocal exercises.
