SATURDAY’S SCOTTISH SONG : #452: DOMICILES

From an on-line bio:-

Domiciles are a five-piece psychedelic collective from Fife, Scotland. Based around the joint songwriting partnership of Nickolas Young & Rory Cowieson, the band from a myriad of different influences; hints of throbbing krautrock & dreamy shoegaze permeate their music, whilst also touching on sneering garage, blissed-out space rock & experimental noise. Dark & heavy psychedelic grooves are built with jarring guitar leads, droning feedback & sharp synthesisers; the result is an arsenal of broad & multi-dimensional compositions, reflective of the band’s diverse list of influences. The intense live show forces the listener to confront sound in its intended form – pure & unlimited.

In 2018, the band was added to the already impressive artist roster of Glasgow-based record label Last Night From Glasgow. The band is currently in the midst of recording their debut album, which will receive a physical release on 12″ vinyl in August 2019.”

I’ve a copy of that debut album, This Is Not A Zen Garden, courtesy of my long-standing LNFG membership.  It’s not really my bag, so it’s not been played more than a couple of times.  But don’t let my opinion put you off.

There doesn’t appear to have been anything from the band after the release of the debut album. Perhaps the forced inactivity during the lockdown period arising from COVID brought things to an end.
