Dominique Leone

Dominique Leone wears many hats, only a few faces & has a hundred songs that you haven't heard. And yes, he's a him. He's a songwriter, producer, singer, lover, fighter... scratch that, he's one of a growing number of college-educated musical auteurs with more than a slight command of pop history & theory chops, and writing songs for joyous, infatuated people. Perhaps some of them are a bit over stimulated. Perhaps some of them just like good melodies & strange chord progressions that still seem vaguely familiar. The music is catchy but ambitious; crafted but not sterile; interesting but not pretentious. It's just a lot of fucking fun. Stromland. 2008.
