"No one will grow up to be you"
"No one will grow up to be you" - a mouthful of a title, was penned by Domino way back when in 2021. She was feeling down, her life seemed lame. Her own brother's achievements felt like personal attacks, and she tried not to cry at a family function. Long story short - she was in a bad place. Her father took her aside and gave her some words of wisdom - you know what, darling? People will grow up to be all sorts of things. But none of them will ever, ever grow up to be you.
Domino stole the concept and ran with it, her spirits lifted and her creative spirit ablaze. The song was born that day, and now is when it gets released into the world.
Recorded at Raccoon Studio by Max Gomart (also on bass, electric guitar and wurlitzer), it features the excellent Hugo Berthier on drums, and Domino on acoustic guitar and vocals.
EP "Live at Kerwax"
"Live at Kerwax" is a labour of love - a 6 track EP recorded on tape at the legendary fully analog studio in Northern Brittany. Domino and the boys traveled by van from Paris to cut these songs, 4 full band and 2 solo ones from Domino. The EP is a celebration of storytelling and deals with revenge and heartache with equal enthusiasm. Nothing is truly autobiographical, and nothing is truly false either. With Ben on the pedal steel, Hugo on drums, Alexis on bass and banjo, and Christophe Chavanon behind the production, mixing and mastering, "Live at Kerwax" encapsulates a moment in time for the band, showcasing how they sound live without pretense or gimmick.
Pedal steel : Ben Poilvé / Drums : Hugo Berthier / Bass and Banjo : Alexis Thalamy / Guitar and voice : Domino Lewis / Mixing and Mastering : Christophe Chavanon. All songs written by Domino Lewis.
"Do It All"
"Do It All" was written by Domino Lewis, in her Parisian flat, in May 2023.
She took it to the stage for a couple shows and it took very little time for people to start asking when it would be coming out. She then met up with Mike, from the legendary channel WesternAF, who asked her to play 'Do It All' for their recorded session together. She obliged.
Finally, spurred on by this enthusiasm, she then took it all the way to Brittany, to the historic Kerwax Studio, to get it recorded by Christophe Chavanon, music producer and co-founder of the studio.
Recorded in one take, fully on tape, the song is an ode to wanting to seize every single thing the world has to offer - the good and the bad.
It was inspired by Domino's all-consuming desire to live it all, to try it all, to do it all. It was also inspired by one of her favorite writers, Sylvia Plath, who said once : "I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations possible in my life. And I am horribly limited". A bittersweet, but nonetheless life-affirming tune, then.
