Just over a year ago I called DOM‘s “Living In America” as the summer jam of 2010, much like The Verve’s “Bitter Sweet Symphony” back in 1997, but it didn’t quite turn out like that.
Instead it was played by myself endlessly, and a bunch of other people but never quite attaining that BSS height (it came close though!). It was from their debut EP “Sun Bronzed Greek Gods”, a pallete of Electronic-Indie-Synth-Pop turned up to 14 and awash in jovial summer-time partying to the excess. Now that they’re sign to a major they’ve got the first taste of new music from a new EP “Family of Love” that’s due out on August 9th via Astralwerks.
“Damn” is said first jam and if you’re looking for that Electro-Synth sound again well it’s been trashed and in its place are droning Lo-Fi guitars and resounding echoing vocals, and I frickin’ like it! It’s nothing groundbreaking but that doesn’t mean it can’t be good, so put your sunglasses on and hit play.
