“By My Side Again” by The Domi marks a strong new beginning for musician Dominique Lemaire, previously a member of the band Enée. This song gives you Lofi indie rock and analog synths with drums bustling and beating—just another shade of dream pop and indie rock that The Domi is known for.
“By My Side Again” opens with glitchy textures emanating throughout the track expansively alongside a classic thumping drum machine. The singer’s voice comes steady and calm, but sincere with a straightforward apology. His steady and sincere voice cuts through the Lofi indie rock groove produced by the pulsating beats and shimmering analog synths and manifests a relaxing, calming, assuring effect.
Lyrically, “By My Side Again” captures the vulnerability of seeking a second chance. The singer’s straightforward confession, paired with the energetic yet calming instrumentation, creates a dynamic contrast that draws us in.
“By My Side Again” feels like a sincere apology wrapped in the warm embrace of indie rock and pop elements.
The Domi, Dominique’s solo project, is building upon his previous success with Enée, which had critical acclaim in France and beyond. And The Domi is going to give you more of the best of dream pop and indie rock with his music, a lot like The Strokes and Cake if you are into that. So stay tuned!
