Do not let the title of this four track EP put you off giving Domus a listen. If memorable melodies and intertwining vocals is your thing then Epimetatmosheric Paradise may be for you, despite the fact that it's possible you may end up calling it 'that EP by Domus.'

From Argentina, Thomas and Diego make a good team and work very well together in producing the twisting turning sounds of their EP. I can only hope the two of them can reproduce the sounds of their recorded tunes in a live performance.

Alongside the vocals, and sometimes singing in Spanish, comes whispering harmonies to good effect. There seems to be a touch of The Velvet Underground and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young about Domus, with occasional sounds of The Beach Boys thrown in for good measure. While 'God Knows I'm You' is endearing and tuneful, 'The Bravest girl On Earth' has a slightly twisted and strange style about it; odd but pleasant.

Maybe four songs isn't enough, especially at approximately 2 minutes each. Even so 'Epimetatmospheric Paradise' is a pleasurable experience; minimal with a great impact.
