<p style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:border-box;font-family:"GFS Didot", sans-serif !important;font-size:18px;line-height:27px;margin:1em 0px;max-width:800px;padding:0px;text-align:left;white-space:pre-wrap;">It's 3 p.m. on a Thursday and he's already spent his day at a shoot prior to this one, with plans to continue shooting his own music video after. You may know Dillon in relation to Hot Mess, him being one-half of the creative force, the other being Luka Sabbat. But that's not what we're here to talk about today. Because frankly, there is much more to Dillon's life than that.</p>

A town that left him unfulfilled, the reason for his determination to create. It started after he got kicked out of his house following his senior year of high school, due to what he refers to as, 'being an idiot.'</p>
<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:"GFS Didot", sans-serif !important;font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin:1em 0px;max-width:800px;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-wrap;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">"I was sneaking out finally, because I was super unpopular, then I became really popular the last year of high school. That was everything to me. I didn't care about college. I was living totally in the moment. Then all my friends went off to college, I got kicked out of my house, and I was just living out of my car for months. I didn't have anything to do," he says. </p>
<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:"GFS Didot", sans-serif !important;font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin:1em 0px;max-width:800px;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-wrap;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">In Dillon's case, having nothing to do but run around town led to a depression he knew he needed to pull himself out of. He enrolled into a local college and lived in the dorms, which actually furthered his depression, placing him a purgatory of seclusion of sorts. "I wouldn't talk to anyone for months. I didn't hear my voice for a month, I swear," he tells me, eyes wide as if for a moment he couldn't believe that time in his life. "I didn't talk for a month because I was so depressed. Then one day I saw online some article that was like, "the top young creatives doing blah blah blah," and I was like what? Nobody ever told me that was a thing. All I heard was the most successful thing was a doctor, lawyer, or whatever. So I thought, I can actually do this."</p>
<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:"GFS Didot", sans-serif !important;font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin:1em 0px;max-width:800px;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-wrap;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">He started by taking photos, making his own lookbooks, and delving into one of the many various mediums that interest him. However it was his documentary on native reservations, <em style="box-sizing:border-box;"><i>Chemical Sunday</i></em>, that people took notice of. Fast forward a bit, he's working with Sabbat on Hot Mess and at the same time going back to Colorado to finish college and work various jobs, one being a substitute teacher at his local high school. (For those interested, he did graduate, with a major in physiology and minor in education).</p>

"One day I was like, What would I most regret? If I am on my deathbed, what would I look back on and be like, I can't believe I didn't do that. And the first thing was that I wasn't in a cool band," he laughs. "So I made a band with a couple of my friends in town and we made a song that night and it was pretty good. Then you are hooked. As soon as you make something cool you didn't know you could do, it's over at that point."</p>

He explains how he got to where he is now in a hushed, calm voice. One that you wouldn't recognize as frontman of The Hellp.</p>
<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:"GFS Didot", sans-serif !important;font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:27px;margin:1em 0px;max-width:800px;orphans:2;padding:0px;text-align:left;text-decoration-color:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:pre-wrap;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;">He describes his band's recent sound as "Bruce Springsteen and Crystal Castles sort of together." Dillon draws on mid 2000's electronic music and country and folk style vocals from his upbringing. "I grew up in the mountains, in the countryside—horses, small town isolation, all those sorts of things that are now coming out, the things that impacted me most. I'd listen to all this electronica music in early high school so I'm just merging those two things in a new way. I just kind of sing into the mic and it ends up becoming that."</p>

Dillon reveals his biggest fear when it comes to live shows is not being taken seriously. "We just want to innovate and take it to the next level to try to make as entertaining as possible. There is no reason not to."</p>

What business do I have making music?"—to the realization that his desire to do something different is not going away anytime soon. "Maybe I cannot be as good as those people, but there has to be some sort of beacon of hope, I mean I am not some sort of savior, but I just feel like there is room for innovation and I want to infiltrate that space and make cool shit that I feel good about at the end of the day so I can go to bed and not feel like a total loser that I know I am."</p>

His goals for this year are laid out with raw honesty—"I just want to get what I deserve. Whatever that means. Hopefully that means I get a lot of opportunities, play shows, make actual music. I have not made actual music yet. We put sounds into a format and play it and it can be catchy but it is not actual music." His list continues with sarcasm and a smile—"I am trying to lose five pounds, buy way more Rick Owens that I need, and to go to Erewhon even more than I do now and eat even less of the salad bar than I do now."</p>

But whatever, I chose this life. I could have been a physiologist or something."</p>

a good story is all there ever was and all there ever will be

all I ever wanted to be was myself

man contemplating with afternoon cigar
Ashtrays are important
statues having a conversation
person smoking cigarette
imagine making money
No house that can hold me
No care to live by the sea
For fear that waves would swallow me
This city says too much
Can't hear the wind speak
I lie down for silence
Thoughts trample over me
The farm carries whispers
The forest houses ghouls
The desert makes me lonely
The suburbs filled of fools
I thought I belonged in a field
But I just ran and ran
I sometimes think space is the answer
Yet I try and barely understand
Now if I could float up
And suspend myself in time
I’d understand the house I so longed for
Was not so far behind
It was right under my nose
Looming up and over my feet
If I just paid a bit more attention
I’d notice the house I built was me
Just Passing Through

“They ate escargot while on ecstasy at Balthazar.“
“You’re walking on the streets of New York City. It can feel like 1950. it can feel like 2016. some songs resinate with you. some songs you never finish. some are classical. some are gothic. some you will replay instantly. and while you're listening, you may ponder how one could even craft such a masterpiece. Me? i've never made a song, but I've made you a playlist.”

“We made eye contact and didn’t say anything for a brief moment. It was perfect.”

Survival of the most charming
deer kiss
People that don’t have hobbies for fun
Napping when there are limited hours of daylight
Oat milk
Not walking enough
Not reading enough
Badly written emails
Having a case on your phone
Not speaking to strangers
Things I am certain of:
Working out of a hotel lobby
Wine in bed
Going to the movies alone
Smoking a cigarette while wearing leather gloves
Drinking a Celsius with a straw
Enjoying a large breakfast once a week
Being ridiculous with a pure heart
Writing letters to friends and loved ones
