DOM

Hi there, it’s been awhile since my last update. I actually have a lot of new brands to introduce… starting with this one.. DOM.

“Dom is a five-piece band hailing from Worcester, Massachusetts. “With fuzzy warped vocals, low-fi distortion and broken Casio keyboard lines, Dom filters a DIY aesthetic through the upbeat, sunny rhythms of pop music.” The band was formed in January 2010 by Dom and drummer Bobby after writing the song, ‘Jesus’. They added bassist Erik, and recorded their first 7 song EP, Sun Bronzed Greek Gods by March 2010 in Erik’s bedroom using a pink paisley guitar, a Casio keyboard and Fruity Loops. The EP was later picked up by EMI/Astralwerks, Parlophone and Modular People and rereleased in February 2011. The group released another 5 song EP, Family Of Love August 9th 2011, which made Top 10 College Radio Charts. Dom intends to release another record mid 2012.” – Dom’s Facebook page

A Case of You – James Blake

James Blake covers Joni Mitchell’s, A Case of You…. this might just be another song that the cover record beats the original’s version and takes all the credit… all in all, it’s pretty sweet and Joni Mitchell really does know how to write a song.

here’s the original version

Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains) MV – Arcade Fire

Another favorite song is made into a music video and I just have to post this:

Gardens & Villa

This is probably one of the top 3 of the best bands I’ve discovered in 2011 (thus far). When I first heard Star Fire Power’ I dedicated a status on Facebook saying “This song fucks my brain out”. Everything in that song is just so sexy… be it the drum patterns intro, sexy singing and its sweet lyrics – it’s not hard to fall in love with the rest in the album afterward.

I’ve been listen to the album (same title with the band’s) for over three weeks now. It’s got aืืn influence from the 80-90s, while some heavy 60s can also be found from ‘Spacetime’. It sure does sounds a bit wrong, but all in all Gardens & Villa is quite a sweet mix. According to the band’s page, the album claims to be ‘a fine cup of tea with the right sugar’.

I have one more sample from the album below:
