Domenique Dumont’s fourth album, Deux Paradis, arrives like the three that came before it – with an air of mystery and wonder. This is dance music for inner worlds – rituals, revelations and reveries. “It’s about self-made spells and rituals you invent to survive modern life,” says Arturs Liepins, the Latvian producer and Francophile behind Domenique Dumont. Deux Paradis is a ten-track song cycle that leads the listener through the rhythm of a day, the bloom and fade of a relationship, or even the stages of a life. It begins with a song about waking up – the candy-striped dub of “Enchantia” – and traces the sun’s arc with the pixelated reggae of “La Vie Va” and the sensuous rush of “Amants Ennemis”. As night falls, the songs take on a twilight quality in the shimmering pop of “The Order of Invisible Things” and the seductive pulse of “Visages Visages” (a subtle nod to the Desireless classic). There’s also the baroque swoon of “Deux Paradis” and the soft exotica of “Visiteur de la Nuit”. Bolder and richer than before, it’s vintage Domenique Dumont – timeless and romantic, yet laced with an unplaceable sense of longing, like in an Éric Rohmer film. After the solo instrumental film score People On Sunday (Leaf, 2020), singer Anete Stuce returns to Domenique Dumont, bringing her inimitable joie de vivre, and completing a trilogy of releases alongside Comme Ça (2015) and Miniatures De Auto Rhythm (2018) on the Antinote label. Deux Paradis was composed, arranged and recorded by Arturs Liepins between 2022 and the end of 2024 in studios in Riga and Paris, and on the Estonian island of Hiiumaa, where most of the lyrics were written.
