DOMi & JD BECK – the GRAMMY-nominated jazz duo featuring keyboardist Domi Louna and drummer JD Beck – are set to make their long-awaited and highly anticipated return with the July 31 release of their 2nd studio album WHO ASKED? on Anderson .Paak’s APESHIT label in partnership with Blue Note Records. The album is available for pre-order today on a multitude of formats including premium 180g black vinyl, color vinyl variants, CD, cassette and digital download.
It’s been 4 years since the release of the duo’s acclaimed 2022 debut album NOT TiGHT which landed them on NPR Tiny Desk, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, as well as earning them two GRAMMY nominations including Best New Artist.
Somehow both simpler and more complex, WHO ASKED? foregoes the rollcall of special guests that illuminated NOT TiGHT yet features even more contributors including a small sinfonietta of seasoned classical players who help bring the duo’s incredibly singular, super maximalist and strikingly beautiful orchestral vision to life. Featuring vocals by Domi and JD throughout, it might almost resemble chamber pop if chamber pop had 50 times as many notes, shifty time signatures and an overall vibe of jazz-born indietronica cut with verdant flower-child freedom.
The band debuted instrumental versions of the new songs last night at the Toronto Jazz Festival and will be performing the new music at the Ottawa Jazz Festival (June 25) and Montreal Jazz Festival (July 2) over the coming weeks. The duo has also begun teasing WHO ASKED? with a series of cinematic vignettes.
