Dom Releases “Family Of Love” Today

Ever since he went from selling low budget beats out of a Worcester bedroom to pursuing his own twisted version of pop music, Dom has made one thing clear: his undying desire to deliver heaven-sent harmonies and hooks that are heavier than – and about as colorful as – his pink paisley guitar. That was certainly the case on last year’s Sun Bronzed Greek Gods EP, as proven by crowd pleasers like the synth-laced “Living in America”.

Nothing’s changed now that he’s released his second EP, Family of Love.

Check out a stream of the record HERE.
