Dominie Hooper - In This Body Lives

In This Body Lives is the breathtaking debut album by Dartmoor-raised, London-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Dominie Hooper. Produced and mixed by Ben Hillier (Depeche Mode, Blur, Nadine Shah), the album is steeped in memory, the search for self and the timeless power of voices raised in ritualistic union. It’s a dramatic, intimate and electrifying record that channels the ruggedness of Dominie’s upbringing through textured layers of cello and guitar, anchored by a blistering live band.

The 10-track album includes singles ‘Land’, ‘Hurricane’, ‘Weaver’, and ‘Animal’ – each exploring themes of transformation, identity and place. Dominie’s compositions are fleshed out by a core trio of trusted collaborators – drummer Dave Hamblett, guitarist Phil Self, and bassist Twm Dylan – while choral voices recur throughout, linking the album to ancient traditions of communal song.
