Domino Publishing is very proud to have four of our writers nominated in six categories at the 2021 Grammy Awards.
Fontaines D.C. have been nominated for Best Rock Album for ‘A Hero’s Death’. This is the band’s first-ever Grammy nomination and comes on the heels of a #2 debut on the UK charts (behind only Taylor Swift), and some of the best reviews of any album released this year. Far from a re-hash of their swaggering 2019 debut (‘Dogrel’), ‘A Hero’s Death’ arrived battered and bruised – albeit beautiful, with songs that are patient, confident, and heady takes on the modern world and its great uncertainty. ‘A Hero’s Death’ was produced by Dan Carey (Black Midi, Bat For Lashes).
Big Thief have received two nominations for their single ‘Not’ in the Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance categories. ‘Not’ is from Big Thief’s fourth studio album ‘Two Hands’ which was released by 4AD, written by Adrianne Lenker, and produced by Andrew Sarlo. Described as the ‘Earth-Twin’ to the band’s previous album ‘U.F.O.F.’, ‘Two hands’ dominated the end of year album lists with Spin naming it the Album of the year.
Devonté Hynes has received two nominations for his work with the Third Coast Percussion in which he was composer and writer for the album ‘Fields‘. Devonté Hynes is being recognized in the categories for Best Engineered Album (Kyle Pyke, engineer ; Jesse Lewis & Kyle Pyke, mastering engineers) and Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance.
Thomas Bartlett co-wrote Bebel Gilberto’s album ‘Agora‘ which has received a nomination for Best Global Music Album. Released by PIAS, this is the first album in six years from the Brazilian artist and documents three years of personal tragedy. Pitchfork expressly noted that Thomas Bartlett ‘helps color in the edges with understated electronic touches’ throughout the album.
Congratulations to all of these writers!
