Mike Dillon
Functioning Broke
Album US 2016 on The Royal Potato Family label
Jazz, Rock and R&B/Soul
"I had been playing around with Elliott Smith songs as I enjoyed the harmonic movement of his songwriting. So in between Primus tours last year, I went into the studio and started tracking the various members of the mallet and percussion family like marimba, xylophone, timpani, orchestral bells, tubular bells, tabla and congas," explains Dillon about the genesis of the album. "We got together every couple of months and would layer the instruments as the song demanded. What I originally thought was a fun little side project quickly became something that my pals said I should complete and release as a proper album."
