Dijon Enlists John C. Reilly, Tobias Jesso, Jr. for ‘The Stranger’

Singer-songwriter Dijon has unveiled a new tune, “The Stranger,” which characteristics a exclusive forged of company like John C. Reilly and Tobias Jesso, Jr.

“The Stranger” is a people posse slash of kinds that finds Dijon and his visitors — who also contain Sachi DiSerafino, Dan Reeder, and Thea Gustafsson — alternating verses in excess of a tender guitar progression. The consequence is a music that feels as if it incorporates a sprawling, at times peculiar, but ultimately cohesive very little universe inside of it.

“I usually required to make a duet and couldn’t,” Dijon reported of the track in a assertion. “[G]ot drunk and started off what I needed to be a person, then had mates at the home and they sang harmonies even though I slumped about embarrassingly seeking not to toss up from the booze. This bizarre concept of developing a weird posse track, identical to ‘Scenario’ by A Tribe Known as Quest or anything, but with guitars. Different voices on the exact guitar loop was intriguing and I questioned folks I realized if they needed to attempt it. Inevitably, [producers] Jack [Karaszewski], Henry [Kwapis] and I randomly threw names in a hat of who would seem to be seriously strange and enjoyment on it mostly men and women we’d hardly ever read on a song or on an album jointly. I am extremely appreciative that these men and women gave this a possibility.”

“The Stranger” marks Dijon’s very first launch since he dropped a include of Chaka Khan’s “Sweet Thing” in June. In Might, he released a new EP, How Do You Sense About Finding Married?
