The sound found on the album, Ghost, is something "new," but Leanne and Russ Carl, Scott McKnight and Kent Nixon said they aren't worried about losing the fans their first effort, Scrapbook, brought into the fold.
"(The album) still feels like us," Russ Carl said. "Not like we've jumped the (band) shark into a new genre."
Indeed, the four best friends said the album is more a refined set of harmonies and melodies, essentially the work of finding out who they are together as a band.
"I think before now we've been learning who we are," Luanne Carl said. "What we are live, this album'll best show it."
Capturing the same quality of their live performances on an album was important to the four musicians because they didn't want fans of their albums to leave live performances disappointed – or have live performance fans unhappy with their album work.
Don't look for haunting melodies on the album, despite it's name. The name of the album is drawn from one of the songs on the LP.
While the McKnight, Nixon and the married Russ pair don't feel that their lives are particularly haunted, they do believe in the spirits that don't cross over, that influence their lives in various ways. Whether it's a spirit in a house or discovered somewhere on tour, the song from which the title of album is derived pays homage to the spirit friends.
A new album means a busy summer for these four, who on top of being a Canadian Country Association's Top 10 songwriters of the year for Scrapbook, also hold down full-time jobs and families here in the Stettler area.
For the more than 10 years the four have been performing together, first as Damnitall and then as Domino, the Stettler community has supported them and continues to do so, they said.
It's for that reason they ensure they always give back, with a performance in West Stettler Park as part of the Music in the Park program, and this year with a CD release show on June 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are available at Pfeiffers House of Music.
Pre-orders of the album are available now through their website at www.dominobandsite.com, with the album being released on June 5.
