“Endlessly engaging and thrilling” – Guy Garvey, BBC 6Music

“Absolutely beautiful” – Shaun Keaveny

“Spine-tingling” – Roddy Hart, BBC Radio Scotland

“Amazing, amazing track” – BBC Introducing

Dominie Hooper is a London-based singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist crafting spellbinding music rooted in folklore, ritual, and emotional transformation. Her songs simmer with raw intensity and lyrical barbs, blending growling cello, textured guitar, and collective vocals into something dark, unsettling, and beautiful.

Her debut single for Lost Map Records, Land, produced by Ben Hillier (Depeche Mode, Nadine Shah), is a powerful meditation on healing and self-reclamation. Written while reflecting on her upbringing in the wilds of Dartmoor, the track conjures a landscape of isolation, memory, and grounded magic. “It’s about choosing the path of healing, again and again,” Dominie explains. “Magic, folklore and myth offer archetypes through which we can flip our own script.”

Dominie’s sound draws comparisons to the brooding drama of PJ Harvey and John Parish, the raw emotional weight of Magnolia Electric Co., and the timeless power of Richard & Linda Thompson.

Her commanding voice and blistering live band have already earned her support slots with This Is The Kit, multiple UK headline tours, and appearances at festivals including Shambala, Deer Shed, and Moseley Folk.

With early support from BBC 6Music, BBC Introducing, Radio 2, and RTÉ 2, plus backing from Help Musicians and PRSF, Dominie is poised for a breakout year. Her upcoming debut album, In This Body Lives, due for release on Hallowe’en 2025, promises to deepen the spell.

As Under the Radar Magazine put it, “The breadth of her talent is immediately apparent.”
