The Story
This is what
the pause
actually looked like.
"I didn’t step away by choice. My brain stopped working. For six months, I couldn’t write. Couldn’t record. Couldn’t remember what I was in the middle of saying. That’s not a break. That’s a different kind of loss."
In October 2025, DOMINO suffered a traumatic brain injury that halted everything. Fifteen years of building — the touring, the collaborations, the momentum — stopped overnight. What followed was six months of recovery, $15K in debt, and the slow, disorienting process of finding out who you are when the thing that defines you is taken away.
TRAUMATICA is the first album from the other side of that. Raw, documented, specific. Not a comeback record in the traditional sense — more like field notes from a war nobody saw you fighting.
Three albums this year. A full-length in 2027. One hundred percent community-funded. No label. No shortcuts. Just the people who believe in what this is.
