Domi & JD Beck - Who Asked?

It’s been 4 years since the release of the duo’s acclaimed 2022 debut album NOT TiGHT which landed them on NPR Tiny Desk, Jimmy Kimmel Live, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, as well as earning them two GRAMMY nominations including Best New Artist.

Somehow both simpler and more complex, WHO ASKED? foregoes the roll call of special guests that illuminated NOT TiGHT yet features even more contributors including a small sinfonietta of seasoned classical players who help bring the duo’s incredibly singular, super maximalist and strikingly beautiful orchestral vision to life. Featuring vocals by Domi and JD throughout, it might almost resemble chamber pop if chamber pop had 50 times as many notes, shifty time signatures and an overall vibe of jazz-born indietronica cut with verdant flower-child freedom.
