For the last ten years, LA-based Blue Broderick has been making daydreamy
guitar pop as Diners, outlining her optimistic worldview within the simple
catchiness and charming style of ‘60s luminaries like Harry Nilsson and Brian
Wilson.
On “Domino,” her energetic new album, she’s taken a turn toward
overdriven, uptempo power pop, applying her affirming lyricism to an unabashed
rock record. With production help from Portland songwriter Mo Troper,
“Domino” places her breezy melodies alongside stomping Big Star guitars and
hazy fuzz bass, lending a new urgency to her anthems. “This is the rock record
that I always wanted to make,” Broderick says. “I know that any time
I turn it on, it’s what I set out to do.”
