}} ''Dominae'' is the debut studio album of American electronic duo Ejecta (now Young Ejecta), consisting of Neon Indian singer Leanne Macomber and producer Joel Ford of Ford & Lopatin. The record consists of ten retro 1980s-style synthpop songs dealing with love, death and early adulthood struggles. Taking seven years to write, it was recorded in New York and Texas, beginning in the summer of 2012 and lasting 14 months, and released on November 4, 2013 by Driftless Recordings, Happy Death and Copyright Control. All the tracks were written by Macomber and produced by Ford, who also did co-writing. Critical reviews were positive upon release, with the record going as so far to rank number six on Gorilla vs. Bear's "40 Best Albums of 2013". ==Production and composition== Leanne Macomber was a singer for the Texas electronic music band Neon Indian, and was also in duo called Fight Bite. Joel Ford was in an electronic music duo with Daniel Lopatin, named Ford & Lopatin. The two first met in 2009 when they were touring, and decide to start working on music together, thus forming Ejecta. Macomber wrote all the songs of ''Dominae'', with Joel Ford handling production and co-writing on "It's Only Love" and "Jeremiah". Macomber described the writing process as "the initial vomit. For better or worse I just go with whatever flows out. These songs we’re not written as a body of work." She said the oldest-written song from the album was "Mistress", which as of November 2013 was seven years old, and the last was "Tempest", which was finished while wrapping up production. Recording sessions of ''Dominae'' began in the summer of 2012,〔 and lasted 14 months in five different "studios". According to Ford, "We worked in bedrooms, on laptops, in really nice studios, in awesome “project” studios. We used super nice, really expensive gear and really terrible broken equipment—anything that worked at the time. After switching studios and taking a break to do an unrelated session in LA, I lost some files and had to rebuild one of the sessions. I was so heartbroken, but the track ended up sounding amazing and different then we had originally planned."〔 ''Dominae'' is a ten-track retro 1980s-style synthpop album〔〔 that lasts for a total of 36 minutes and seven seconds. Ejecta said they were influenced by romantic pop ballads, "cheap and glittery one-hit-wonders" and "fringe electronic movements," calling their influences a "schizophrenic combination of your dad's radio and your drunk cousin's record collection—from Gainsbourg to Death in June." They described their sound as electronic musically and Macomber's songwriting as pop.〔 Artists that inspired Ejecta while making the album included Broadcast, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Orbital, Napolian, Cocteau Twins and The Human League. Ford said their style was “stuffed somewhere between the past and the future.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dominae」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
