Follow Dom Malin
Discovering a new Dom Malin song is a bit like trying the latest version of your favorite chocolate bar. It’s a personal moment, something just for you, where you have every right to shut out the rest of the world, put on a good pair of headphones, and just breathe while you listen. That’s exactly what we did. And as always, that familiar sense of pleasure was there.
Even more so this time, because Dom Malin takes on something massive that he hadn’t really explored before. A sound that leans much more into indie folk than usual. Sure, he had already touched on folk vibes with All I Know. But here, it’s another level. And when we say you need good headphones, it’s for moments like this. To catch the subtle electric guitar in the background of the final chorus, the soft “ooh oohs” tucked between two lines in the second verse, or those tiny sounds, like birds reacting in awe to another masterpiece from the great Malin.
Yes, the connection to nature is the theme here, and nature is clearly present in the production too. The truth is, Dom Malin is a real problem for bloggers. We run out of ways to describe what he does. And we end up sounding like broken records, always saying the same thing: that he somehow did even better than last time. We keep asking the same questions. Can he top this again? Where does his creativity end? But deep down, we already know the answers.
Once again, for the thirteenth time, we’re saying this is Dom Malin’s best track so far. Until the next one!
Dom Malin’s take on “Bloodmoon”
It’s a personal and nostalgic song about that one connection that never really goes away. You know, you move on, time passes, but somehow, this person still holds a place in your heart. I wrote it while I was back in Seattle, a city that carries a lot of memories for me. It feels like stepping into a chapter of the past. The song is my way of understanding that strange mix of distance and closeness. When someone is no longer part of your life, but just thinking about them still brings a kind of warmth. It’s not dramatic. It’s quiet. Almost peaceful. Musically, it’s soft and intimate, with a bit of melancholy, but there’s also something hopeful in it. It came together naturally, without trying to force anything. Just letting the feeling speak.
