Domino

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

'Bugger Me' in Coome's own words is "Suicide meets The Beach Boys. Not the sophisticated 'Pet Sounds' Beach Boys, but more like 'Surfer Girl' stuff. More conscious reference points were Chris Montez or Timmy Thomas." He wanted to make "entertainment music, but entertainment music meant for those not served by more mainstream entertainment music. Maybe one might want to take a break from Sheer Hellish Miasma and enjoy some simple tunes that maybe speak to the same sense of the absurd, that likewise reject commercialism and market-based aesthetics, and even now and again pay a little homage to the raw synthesizer noise we have grown to love and even crave. Maybe timeworn themes such as love and war still resonate in the dusty backrooms of your mind (indeed maybe they are the only themes which do so)." Accompanied only by his organ and 'Conny' - a mid-'60s rhythm box (non-programmable, "not even really a drum machine"), Coomes made a conscious choice to pare things back.LP - Heavyweight Black Vinyl with Download.LP+ Limited Coloured Black And White Heavyweight Vinyl With Download.
