Last week, Dijon announced that he would be releasing Baby, a new album, “unless samples don’t get cleared.” Well, it appears the samples did get cleared, as Baby arrived today (August 15).
In a post on Instagram, Dijon writes of the project:
“Baby is album 2. for [Skinny Bones Joans] and our son Baby. Made in a fever storm and I couldn’t have rocked it without deep co pilot [Andrew Sarlo] I am forever indebte. Graffiti boys, truly. The powers of) [Mk.gee, BJ Burton, Henry Kwapis, Tommy King,] tobias Jesso jr Are potent and heavy and vital. […] Thanks everyone who has been spreading gospel n love over the years :).”
The post also thanks Bon Iver, Pino Palladino, Flock Of Dimes, Jim E Stack, and other collaborators.
This comes after Dijon contributed to Bon Iver’s new album SABLE, fABLE and Justin Bieber’s Swag earlier this year.
A press release notes of the album, “Examining new fatherhood and how rapidly his life has changed since Absolutely, the album is a collection of songs that represent the mania of domesticity.”
Earlier this year, Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon spoke about touring with Dijon and Mk.gee, saying, “That was the first time where I was actually, like, really, really, really humbled. Like, I always enjoyed the people we went on tour with, but I was like, ‘Oh, this is fresh.’ What they were doing, it reignited something. It really had me second-guessing — not second-guessing. I love what we did. But it was like, ‘Oh. We’re just about dinosaur. We’re just about over our own hill.’”
