BIOGRAPHY
Dome Dwellers is a neo-psychedelic math-rock-infused space-cult based out of Denton, TX; formed in the fall of 2012 by Michael J. Slack, David Gore, and Cullen Dean. Cutting their teeth early on house shows and local DIY festivals, Dome Dwellers quickly developed a devoted local following, and after years of unrelenting and bombastically unrivaled live shows, were able to grow that following throughout Texas and beyond.
Dubbed “Art Warriors” by THRWD Magazine, the music of Dome Dwellers takes listeners on a sonic space-ride spanning the musical spectrum; bouncing from melodically melancholic, to contagiously danceable, careening haphazardly between soulful and whimsical all in the course of a few songs. The band holds a kinship with rock bands of yore – holding the same angst-ridden, flowery, explosive, bleeding-heart, full-speed-ahead-into-the-sun energy of a band like Queen, while remaining sonically contemporary. The result is music that is powerful, confident, and even playful, but most importantly comes from a deeply genuine and heartfelt place.
With heavily-effected angular guitar, powerful melodic bass, punchy drums, versatile vocals and a collage of effect-tinged sounds, Dome Dwellers music doesn’t merely seek to fit in. Instead, they strive to carve out a space of its own while remaining within the tried-and-true structures of pop and rock music. Walking a fine line between experimentation and accessibility, the band has settled into a sweet spot. Dome Dwellers is “a rock ‘n’ roll band with a confident flair, a reaffirmation that the genre never died; it’s just evolved.” – Dallas Observer, 2015
Dome Dwellers has two previous releases, “Maybe I Should Have Some Pride” (2013) and “Ivory Tower” (2015), and has recorded multiple live video sessions. Three singles, “Way It Goes”, “When I Cave”, and “21 Days” (2021) have been added in addition to now released, full-length album, “It’s Just Us” (2022).
