Continuing our promise to highlight the fantastic music and Labels that recently joined Rdio from Merlin, today we’re jumping over the pond to look at UK-based Domino Records. Even though Domino began outside the U.S., they’ve made a considerable impact on our musical tastes here in the States, partly due to their strong U.S. branch.
Whether it’s newer groups like the Dirty Projectors and Animal Collective, or long-time favorites like Queens of the Stone Age and The Kills, Domino has an impressive roster of albums and artists.
