Dom

Dom are a four piece stoner surf band from Worcester, Massachusetts who play the same brand of cat-centric and resin inhaling lo-fi as current scene king and queen Wavves and Best Coast. One glaring difference among the bands is that Dom are more unabashed in flaunting pop sensibilities. Their debut EP Sun Bronzed Greek Gods is a bright and energetic set of songs that doesn't take itself seriously, let alone anything else. Lead singer Dom has that "Is that dude or a chick?" kind of voice, which is even more difficult to distinguished through low fidelity (Completely intentional if you've heard their live shows). The EP is straightforward pop from end to end, so those looking for commentary on the plight of the human condition will be disappointed. With songs about remedying the pain of rejection with an ecstasy tablet at a basement party ("Jesus") and a single completely coated in sarcasm that will still probably go over the heads of red state residents ("Living in America"), Dom have that I don't give a flying fuck attitude and will spend their unemployment insurance on drugs. The highlights are the early Weezer inflected "Hunny" and the malt shop closer "I Wonder", songs about relationships that revolve around a couch.
