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*, ...).

The Kills are an indie rock band formed in 2001 by American singer Alison Mosshart, also known as "VV," and British guitarist Jamie Hince, known as "Hotel." With their unique blend of garage rock and blues influences, The Kills have gained a loyal following around the world. Known for their raw and energetic live performances, the duo has released several critically acclaimed albums over the years. Their music is characterized by Mosshart's powerful vocals and Hince's gritty guitar riffs. If you're a fan of alternative rock with a rebellious edge, The Kills are definitely worth checking out.

'Blood Pressures' finds the Kills with their swagger and sass intact, but with a new thoughtfulness and depth - even a tinge of wistfulness and vulnerability - to their always compelling songwriting. As one of the most vital, striking bands recording today, the Kills' vividly unique 'rock' is at once effortless, edgy and timeless. For the sessions that became 'Blood Pressures', Jamie and Alison returned to key club studios in Michigan where they reunited with 'Midnight Boom' engineers Bill Skibbe and Jessica Ruffins. Produced by Jamie Hince, the album was mixed in London by Tom Elmhirst. with their basic sound intact - searing guitars, driving rhythms and sexually charged lyrical savvy - the 11 tracks on 'Blood Pressures' find the Kills embracing a fuller sound and becoming more adventurous in the studio, while the lyrics are honest, heartfelt and sometimes just plain heartbreaking. departing from the sparse, angular sound of 'Midnight Boom', the duo explores complex textures on 'Blood Pressures'.
