I think Worcester trio Dom is what many indie bands wish they were–cool cause they really don’t give a shit. Their first album–a lo-fi pop concoction–was recorded in bassist Erik’s bedroom and initially released on Craigslist. Their second effort, the Family of Love EP, was recently released and shows real progression from their delinquent-pop debut. It’s much sharper, but still holds onto that fuzzy distortion and synthy goodness. And they’re definitely still not over their punk ways. It’s a real sugar rush; upbeat and fun. The standout track “Damn” is a bit more melancholy, revealing another side of them. It was really tempting to put up the entire EP because as a whole it’s awesome but I’ll refrain. Support the artist, buy the music. It’s worth it.
