Dom - Sun Bronzed Greek Gods EP
MM1/2
Back in 2009, a lot of people on the internet went ballistic about The Pains of Being Pure at Heart (debut album from band of the same name). The record is a gift-wrapped collection of indie pop-rock tunes, ready and waiting to wriggle their way into your brain...they did, but for most, only for a short time.
It's one thing to write a hook that catches the ear at first listen, and another to write one that sticks with a person for the entire day. Dom, a happy little rock outfit from Worcester, MA, have figured out how to do the former, but they're a long ways a way from the latter. Of the seven songs on the EP (re-released on Astralwerks/Burning Mill this past week), "Burn Bridges" comes the closest to a sing-a-long anthemic pop tune.
