Ahead of the release of new album No Keys on May 17th, psych-blues trio Dommengang have shared motorik new single "I".
The song's spontaneous energy and relentless drive perfectly capture No Keys' themes of escapism and working through personal loss. Bassist Brian Markham's lyrics preach to the healing power of nature, the trio seeking real and metaphorical solace in the forests, deserts and mountains that surround their spiritual home of LA.
On No Keys, Dommengang channel the wailing psych-rock abandon previous work into a lean, dark-edged record colored by loss. Guitarist Dan “Sig” Wilson, bassist Brian Markham, and drummer Adam Bulgasem have grown closer even as they live further apart. Shared personal loss and experience playing and touring has made time together both an escape, and a release. Recorded by Tim Green (Joanna Newsom, Howlin’ Rain, Sleepy Sun, Fresh and Onlys, Golden Void), No Keys captures the raw energy of playing together: soaring, blues-rock made all the more potent by heartfelt lyrics that address loss and anxiety.
Dommengang will be touring California around the release of No Keys, before embarking on a a run of midwest and east coast U.S. dates with fellow psych heads Dead Meadow in June.
