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.

Back In Stock

After collaborating with Nelly Furtado, scoring a film, and dropping a trio of singles, Dev Hynes finally releases a new LP as Blood Orange. Entitled 'Freetown Sound', the record is the long-awaited follow-up to 2013's 'Cupid Deluxe'. The album was inspired by old Dust Brothers records and comes across like his version of 'Paul's Boutique'. It kind of plays like a long mix tape. 'Freetown Sound' features musical contributions from Nelly Furtado, Carly Rae Jepsen, BEA1991, Debbie Harry, Adam Bainbridge (AKA Kindness), Empress Of, Ian Isiah, Kelsey Lu, Jason Arce, Ava Raiin, Aaron Maine (AKA Porches), Bryndon Cook (AKA Starchild) and Patrick Wimberly. 'Freetown Sound' is a tour de force, a confluence of Hynes' past, present and future that melds his influences with his own established musical voice.
