Speckled Band questions the nature of power and fame and the heavy price that comes with in “Dominion.” The storytelling in “Dominion” can’t be separated from the thoughts around the exploitation of Robert Evans, the main producers behind The God Father, how he might have been the big man behind an all-time classic yet had so little control over his privacy.

In the process of creating a wonderful sonic journey for others, Speckled Band have not lost themselves in the chase of fame. They gives you something that lingers on your mind long after listening.
