Beatrice Dillon will release her debut album, titled 'Workaround', on February 7, 2020 via legendary German imprint, PAN.
The album was recorded in a three-year span between 2017 and 2019 in London, Berlin and New York, and is influenced by her love of UK club music, particularly its Afro-Caribbean elements; 'Workaround' is also inspired by the works of various literary figures and visual artists, including James P. Carse, Tomma Abts, Jorinde Voigt and Bridget Riley.
