Only Son

The Drop To The Top

About Me

The video for "My Museum" was directed by the amazing Peter Sand and stars our good friend Aleksa Palladino from Exit Music.
Jasmin Steigler came along on the Adam Green/Jeffrey Lewis/Only Son tour of Europe and shot a bunch of pre-afro footage. She put together this promo video set to "Sleepyface".
Only Son is the music of NYC based songwriter Jack Dishel. His debut album, The Drop To The Top (Cassette Recordings) is now for sale in major record stores across the US and available for download on the iTunes Store!
Jack has spent the last year and a half touring the UK, Europe and America opening for Regina Spektor, Adam Green and The Strokes (as Adam Green's guitarist).
Before creating Only Son, Jack Dishel was the frontman of NYC band Stipplicon as well as lead guitarist for The Moldy Peaches.
