The track weaves minimalist electronics, delicate vocal interplay, and shadowy atmospherics into something that feels both intimate and expansive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Apathy<\/em>&nbsp;isn\u2019t here to shout \u2014 it drifts, pulses, and quietly lodges itself in your brain. Fans of <strong>Broadcast<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Beat Happening<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>Stereolab<\/strong>&nbsp;will instantly feel at home in Domina\u2019s world. It\u2019s lo-fi without being lazy, dreamy without being sugary. There\u2019s an emotional weight under all that restraint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Apathy\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/6yyqcPCg6hliepjdsqaDNR?si=QscppvuyRYC6oDoiQcZejg&#038;context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A6mpflJCe2R84GM0hHw3tB5&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio wp-block-paragraph\">In the band\u2019s own words, \u201c<em>Apathy is reminiscent of a disjointed, not yet flowing state \u2014 rooted in Broadcast-style atmospherics. Its dream-like lyrics feel like conversation, almost calling after each other. \u2018Big shoulders block the view\u2019 seems like a distant memory, still blurred.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>They go on to describe the instrumental tension, with \u201c<em>electronics floating above an angular beat that repeats in an uneven cycle\u201d<\/em> while synths and guitar blur together in a hazy, pulsing unity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s the first real taste of what Domina have been quietly crafting. Before this release, they dropped a handful of lo-fi sketches to YouTube, which caught enough attention to land them in the orbit of&nbsp;<strong>Young<\/strong>&nbsp;(the XL-affiliated label). Now recording at the label\u2019s Dalston-based Young Space, Domina have found room to stretch and evolve \u2014 and&nbsp;<em>Apathy<\/em>&nbsp;is just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The single is lifted from their debut EP, set to land this autumn on Far From Presents. If <em>Apathy<\/em>&nbsp;is any indication, we\u2019re in for something special \u2014 introspective and strange, but never cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Live, they\u2019ve been keeping it raw and experimental, playing spots like&nbsp;<strong>The George Tavern<\/strong>, <strong>Shacklewell Arms<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Sebright Arms<\/strong>, and even soundtracking a mudfight at&nbsp;<strong>The Horse Hospital<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Meet the trio:<\/strong><br>Jude Dulake \u2013 vocals, keyboards<br>Liv Mair Allen \u2013 vocals, bass<br>Anders Waller \u2013 vocals, synths, drum machines<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stream&nbsp;<em>Apathy<\/em>&nbsp;now on all the usual places \u2014 and keep your ears open for that EP this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can find Domina on Instagram, YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>London-based trio&nbsp;Domina&nbsp;have officially arrived with their debut single&nbsp;Apathy, out now via Far From Presents Records \u2014 and it\u2019s an understated gem.
