In 2008, Dominique Lemaire (songwriter, performer) founded the group Énée with Yann Drezet (guitar, lead) and Sylvain Jouet (bass). The group released two EPs, an album and several singles, for more than twenty-five titles in total. The music of énée met with a warm reception from the public and great repercussions in the specialized press (Les Inrockuptibles, France Culture, Indie Rock Mag, Le Transistor, among others). A very encouraging dynamic which allowed a signature with two labels for international distribution (Hebra Records, in Belgium; Savage Jaw Records, in Phoenix, USA) and stages throughout France (Zénith de Montpellier, Bus Palladium Montpellier, La Java , Issy-les-Moulineaux Festival, Bellevilloise).
Today, in parallel with the group Énée, Dominique Lemaire creates The Domi, a solo (but not solitary) project, resolutely pop and rock, made of short and incisive songs. The Domi expresses itself in a minimal register, mixing emotion and melody, with a no-frills rhythm machine, a flexible and warm bass, aerial guitars and a direct and lively vocals. The second track, “Together”, is about life together with its ups and downs, hope and new beginnings.
Influenced by the music of The Strokes, the tracks of The Domi oscillate between atmospheric pop and minimal rock, inspired by Radiohead, Blonde Redhead, Deus, Pixies, Ghinzu, Get Well Soon and Grandaddy. “Together” is the second single from an EP currently being recorded, due for release in 2022.
