"Their music, particularly the harmonies, is just plain beautiful." -LA TETE DU ROI
"Nic Dillon's world-weary ruminations abandon the bitter diatribes that litter the everyday songwriter's debut, but it's better-half Heather's serene, earthy harmonies that separate this Champaign, Ill., duo from the Iron & W(h)ine set." -MAGNET
"Nic and Heather Dillon weave entrancing harmonies with their eyes locked on artistry." -ILLINOIS ENTERTAINER
Love, then music, then marriage…the story continues. Since 2001, Heather and Nic Dillon have recorded together and toured throughout the United States and Canada, performing with the band Winter In Alaska and under their former name, Casados. Their newest self-engineered/recorded project, “It Would Make Things Worse,” is a culmination of a sonic evolution that has brought them out of the pedestrian indie-folk-singer-songwriter genre and into their current coat: lyrically-driven, atmospheric chamber-folk. Here you will find a gentler, more deliberate dynamic that alludes not only to the more gleeful aspects of life and love, but also the darker.
“It Would Make Things Worse” is slated for national release on Parasol Records in September 2009.

Hello Dillon family. This is Eddie. You may remember me. I saw the drummer to Winter In Alaska and thought of you. I'm interested in hearing about how life is treating you if you are interested in telling me.
Ah well now I wont be in town on the 9th, a tour I booked for two girls Allie Moss & Bess Rogers are playing w/ Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band (Dead Oceans) @ The Courtyard Cafe that date and I was going to make it over for the show and of course to see some old friends
Thanks so much. I'm really proud of this new stuff. WALSH?! I just saw a Bazan house show here last week. I hope you got a ticket to the Urbana one. It is truly amazing. Let me know when the album is done.
Remember when trouble’s lasted only as long as the story books end And pages were drawn And broken glass still reflects memories continuing Up the very same stairs
And still I wonder where did we go wrong? I laughed with you just yesterday And yet that feels so long I still sleep in the sheets we fell beneath And still I wonder what did we do wrong? It never seemed to feel that way I never was that strong But who am I to speak Were we in love for just a week
And time just stands still Without familiar smiles filling my cup to the brim As I drink it all in With pane so think, looking out to see you’re the only one Being embraced by the sun
How's everything been going? I don't know if you remember me but I played the Bohemia music fest in Iowa. I listen to your cd all the time I think you guys are absolutely amazing. I might be putting together a small acoustic house show in Manteno, IL would you guys be interested in coming out to perform?
I hope things are well I can't wait till I get to hear you guys again!
