"Vaguest Vacation" out now!!

About Me

In case you haven't seen it, watch the video for the lead single "You're On To Me":
Check out a pre-release copy of my BRAND NEW ALBUM called "Vaguest Vacation" (Peaked at 14 on the CMJ Hip-Hop charts - 5 weeks in the top 20!) right here at CDBaby.com/DomerMusic ... The official release date is April 8. Read what people are saying about "Vaguest Vacation" here:
"...A satisfying mix of soulful lyrics and indie-pop influences pioneered by the likes of the Postal Service, Her Space Holiday, and Aesop Rock... the perfect go-to album for either lazy days of pensive self-reflection or for nights of summer-inspired debauchery."
- Musicemissions.com/A.P.
"...The up-tempo "Mellow Me" bounces along in a manner comparable to Spank Rock, while "Family" flips an Indian/Middle-Eastern vibe. "Midbreath" is another left turn; if this were your introduction you'd swear Domer to be an indie-rock band. Synth washes, noise, and backwards guitar notes add color and atmosphere to various tracks, providing a lot of harmonic underpinnings for Domer's layered vocals, which in turn can swing from a clean, straightforward voice to a more gruff, Steve Harwell-like tone as the need arises..."
-Justin Deremo, OkayPlayer.com
Producer/rapper Domer is not your typical underground hip-hop artist. He’s not obsessed with late 1980s to early ‘90s rap, or trying to save the genre. He also doesn’t battle-rap his way through every song on Vaguest Vacation, his sophomore effort. If his songs are any indication, Domer is mostly interested in making music fun again. And he does that without sacrificing substance for style... Domer’s 40-minute romp through heartbreak, the daily grind, and numerous other topics ultimately works because you feel like you know him by the album’s end. Actually, you feel like you are him. And it’s that amiable quality that makes Vaguest Vacation so much damn fun to listen to.
-Andrew Martin, PopMatters.com .
Domer is a Brooklyn MC and producer who doesn't seem too concerned with looking back to the storied history of New York hip-hop, or even that interested in the city's new musical directions. Rather, Domer wants you to shake your ass and have a good time without thinking too much about what you're doing. With a few years of experience throwing parties in NYC, as well as some success licensing beats to TV commercials, this guy knows what he's doing. This track comes from his second album, Vaguest Vacation, a release full of catchy hooks and poppy beats for a spring break at the Domer resort.
- XLR8R.com .
Combining bumping tempos with an array of vocal styles, Domer's Vaguest Vacation delivers a wide variety of sounds that drift between alternative rock and electronic and many other genres. From track to track you really never know what to expect, which becomes the mystery of this interesting album. One moment you could be relaxing to the cool vibes of "What We're Gonna Do" and the next you could be tempted to move to the hip-hop-inspired "Get Through This."
-Review By Matt Conley, southcoast247.com
Brooklyn MC Domer describes his electro inspired brew of hip-hop as Postal Service meets Atmosphere. While his cadence will remind listeners of AWOL One more than Atmosphere, what he does have in common with both of those MCs is a unique knack for telling a story. Vaguest Vacation embraces a variety of genres but can best be described as pop. No matter what the subject matter might be, his songs are always catchy. Mastering the art of the hook, Domer’s Vaguest Vacation can best be remembered for the way in which the songs will attach themselves to the listener to the point that they will be reciting them long after the CD has finished...

See what people said about my previous album "Work With Me" and then buy it!
"Domer's "Work With Me" is hella intellectual, hella introspective, hella philosophical and above all, hella genius."
- HipHopLinguistics.com
"Sharing a Brooklyn lilt with Aesop Rock and an experimental approach to production and songwriting referencing Daedelus and spiteful indie-electro smartass Her Space Holiday, Domer has been dug outta deepest NYC by Welsh label Skipping Beats. International debut 'Work With Me' is a patchwork of east coast word skills and off-kilter tempos befitting a man with the insight to set up a website selling battle raps as ring tones. Check it".
-Hip Hop Connection (Adam Anonymous number one pick of the month)
"This album does not disappoint. Great beats, excellent rhymes. Some smart, reflective lyrics, but also some jamming party tracks. Influences from all over hip hop, rock, jazz, and the avant garde. Domer is the genius the music world has been waiting for. Dig it."
-Amazon.com listener review
"Just in time for the release of Jamie Kennedy's Kickin It Old Skool, I present Domer, a white rapper from Brooklyn with a Jew Fro. Domer courageously ventures into a genre he doesn't belong in, bringing his own unique edge to it... I'm digging Whistler."
- FreeIndie.com
"Finding a balance between melancholy growls and joyful indifference, Domer walks you through the stress and struggle of yet another city day on, Work With Me. Playful and dark in the same breath, "Whistler" is a jaunty depressives walk through the park, and "Tacky Shoes" nearly begs for a euro-house remix. With a truly original approach to beat making, never fully existing within a single genre, Domer stretches expectations beyond the 16 bars or verse-chorus-verse cubicles, into the land of the independent musical contractor." - Clouds and Candy
