Dommengang to Release Wished Eye April 21;
Dommengang are an ‘all of the above’ kind of band when it comes to what’s working in their favor. Chops, chemistry, songwriting; these together with an ability to inherit the organic vibes of classic heavy rock without necessarily being a retread. They’ve reaped plaudits far and wide, but I’m glad to add my voice to that chorus for whatever it’s worth. The proverbial new single, from the proverbial new album, and me talking about how the band are underrated? Yeah, we’ve been here before, and I’m not gonna tell you that if you’ve been listening to heavy rock and roll for the last year, five years, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 years that they’re the first dudes ever to pick up a guitar and riff, but their work resonates with sincerity, and frankly, that should be enough.
The new record is called Wished Eye, and it’s out April 21 on Thrill Jockey, which is nothing you probably didn’t already know but good news just the same. The song is “Society Blues,” and it’s a rocker. You’ll find it at the bottom of the post. Everybody cool? Alright, I’m gonna go grind some almond butter.

Power trio Dommengang deliver heavy psych rock on new album Wished Eye, out April 21st. The album delivers super tasty, dirty guitars, serpentine psychedelic grooves, and propulsive drumming with gleeful abandon. First single “Society Blues” builds to an exuberant explosion of crisp, blues-laden guitar lines that soar over a driving rhythm section, bringing to mind the 1970’s power of a Louis Dambra solo. The dynamic song is carried by ascendant vocals, the band stretching out at the midway point and expanding into the outer world, giving the listener a taste of their explorative live shows.
Wished Eye is the studio album of a band that, live, ignites chaotic release and otherworldly meditation. To capture this energy and freedom in the studio, the trio tracked all the songs together to tape and let experimentation run wild. Working without time constraints or limitations, they could dig deeper into their ever expanding lines, their songs expanding as the guitar explores. Dommengang’s sheer joy of making music together, delivered with skill, imagination and abandon, make Wished Eye an immersive journey without ever leaving home – what a trip it is.
Dommengang will be touring Europe this spring following the release of Wished Eye, including a performance at Desertfest London. More worldwide tour dates and festivals to be announced.
