The band Dominique #DMQ just spent a week with the marvellous producer and sound engineer Berend Intelmann recording our fifth album CAMPING IN THE WILDERNESS—we are sooooooo happy with the results still emerging! We are currently mixing! It will have ten new indie-pop songs with nods to folk, psychedelic, prog and even disco – you can’t wait neither can we—release we hope already in Summer 2025—stay tuned // We loved playing in Rirkrit Tiravanija’s work: Untitled (Rehearsal Studio No.6), 1996 @gropiusbau, Berlin – thanks for all the fans who came. // The band is using Anna’s new insta account for news @annastarkanna // Thank-you DJ Stephan Karkowsky for playing us so often on your RADIOEINS show Late Night Lounge // Thank you to artist Sunah Choi, art space Grotto and the Hansabibliothek for hosting us // this too: https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/wo-die-kunst-sich-ihre-raeume-schafft-warum-projektraeume-so-wichtig-sind-dlf-kultur-9a82ed20-100.html
DOMINIQUE
(est.1999)
feat. Anna Stark, Ben Clark, Dominic Eichler, and Phillip Neumann
indie-Pop
Dominique the band began life in 1999 on a whim with a borrowed 1973 Rhodes piano and a four-track tape recorder. Since then, our recordings mostly featured Dominic Eichler (keyboards, spoken word, music, lyrics and production), Anna Stark (cello), Paul Davis (aka Richard Davis, bass, vocals, synths, music, lyrics and production) and Ben Clark (drums). Over the years we also worked with many other wonderful artists and musicians — full track and videography credits can be seen via the links below. Our special thanks go to sound engineer on our indie-cult debut album ’Speak to Me’ (2002) Thomas Goldhahn, artists and founding members Dave Allen (guitar) and Antje Majewski (cello), as well as Michael Lapuks (guitar), Ninon Liotet (French vocals) and videographer Luke Bennett. In 2018, Davis, Eichler and Stark also released a limited edition vinyl ‘The Basis of All Life’ as the side project CARBON GOBLET. In 2023, singer and bassist Philipp Neumann joined the permanent Dominique lineup. We are currently working on a new album scheduled for 2025.
