'Anything at All' is the latest offering from Dom Quincey

Ahead of his forthcoming EP, Dom Quincey is back with his atmospheric single, 'Anything at All'. Sweeping string lines and roaring guitars bookend intimate verse production, with dreamy vocals washing over crashing drums and flutters of brass. The single is loaded with energy, but conveyed at the right moments, within this unique and dynamic production.

Dom describes the song in his own words:

“The song started as I was playing around with a guitar tuning used on Joni Mitchell’s ‘Hejira’. I loved how open and unresolved it felt. I wrote the first verse and took it to my friend Coby, who helped me restructure the chords. We made a draft of a song, but it didn’t feel reflective of where I was at the time, so I sat with it and wrote the rest of it a few months later. I took it to Evil Genius, who produced the song with me and helped to refine its contrasting textures. ‘Anything at All’ is a song about feeling lost and disillusioned through turbulent times.

The lyrics tread a line between fantasy and reality, so I wanted the production to embody both digital and organic elements. I was inspired by the glitchy, minimalist production on some of James Blake’s early work, as well as the distorted, earthy sounds used by grunge bands of the 90s. This disjointed sonic palette reflects a push and pull between the fragmented states of mind explored in the song.”

Flirting with 90s drums, mid noughties singer-songwriter charm and modernist alternative-folk, Dom Quincey cannot, and should not, be boxed in.
