After releasing a lovely, orchestral-ish debut EP in 2014 entitled 'The Guard,' Brooklyn musician Domino Kirke had a life changing encounter with Deli favorite Luke Temple (whose debut album 'Snowbeat' was our NYC record of the month back in 2007, years before he founded his popular band Here We Go Magic). Luke worked on the electronic arrangements of Domino's new songs, which are featured in sophomore EP 'Independent Channel,' released in March of 2015. Temple is now also part of the live band, which you'll have the opportunity to see live tonight (June 1st) at Baby's All Right. Check out also Domino's brand new video for the EP's titletrack.

Domino Kirke has a lot on her plate these days. But with her imagination and endless spirit, the Brooklyn based singer/songwriter finds inspiration in her rich life for more imaginative work than we've heard from her yet. After the birth of her son Kirke took some time off, Domino became Williiamsburg's hottest new doula, and has now come back to music with new EP 'The Guard,' revealing an inner calm and directness that can be both surprising and arresting.

The English/American transplant has done a lot in a very short time, but comes away from it all sounding more in touch with her form than ever before. And it doesn't hurt that Jorge Elbrecht (Violens and Lansing-Dreiden) collaborated on the EP as well. Check out the title track below, and see her when she plays at her Ace Hotel residency on December (12/8, 12/15, 12/22 and 12/29). - Mike Levine @Goldnuggets)
