Today, Russian outfit Pompeya has released a brand new EP titled Domino, a driving 4-track set of the band's signature pop/funk coupled with the tastefully masterful production of French house producer Fred Falke. The EP is available now via Mishu Records.
The EP's lead single and title track "Domino" was released last month to much acclaim with Popdust describing the track's "disco-happy funk vibes" and Magnetic Magazine noting that the song "has all the ingredients to be your next big summer track - a great, catchy vocal, steady groove, searing guitar and flawless production from Fred Falke."
Laden with upbeat grooves, intense guitar riffs, and a heated guitar solo, "Domino" is a track that finds itself at the divine intersection of funk, pop, and unabashed rock 'n roll. The official video for "Domino" takes you out on a wild night at the discotheque with some youthful souls that you don't want to miss out on. Listen the song HERE and watch the video HERE.
Rounding out the 4-track EP is an additional brand new single, "Somebody Else," alongside two other tracks, "Slaver" and "Last One," which are fresh reworks of previously released tracks by the band.
The band's notable
Fred Falke collaboration is one that has been brewing for some time. In 2014, Falke dropped a
massive remix of Pompeya's track, "90," which drew major hype from critics and fans alike.
Fred Falke has also remixed legends such as Justice, Röyksopp and Goldfrapp. Furthermore, Falke has laid down production work for a diverse list of notable artists including Hot Chip, Ellie Goulding, Lana Del Rey, Sia,
Katy Perry + more.
To capture the most candid moments and tell the full backstory of this special collaborative EP, a studio documentary was filmed surrounding the EP's recording and is also released today. View it
