Domenique Dumont - People On Sunday '2020

Tracks list

People On Sunday is an original soundtrack to the 1930 silent film variously
known as Menschen am Sonntag, Les Hommes le Dimanche and People On Sunday. The
film is a key work of interwar German cinema, based on a screenplay by Billy
Wilder. Like Domenique Dumont’s earlier albums, Comme Ça and
Miniatures De Auto Rhythm, People On Sunday evokes a more innocent, carefree
time conjured by wistful electronics full of warmth and melody. Touching on the
hazy exotica that made those two records so alluring, here Dumont draws on his
love of classical music, library music and early electronic experimentation to
create a timeless, optimistic sound. If his past productions possessed a certain
Mediterranean quality, across these 13 new pieces Dumont’s shimmering
synth-pop has an enchanting simplicity.

Part documentary, part fiction, the film People On Sunday follows a group of
characters going about their business in Weimar-era Berlin over one weekend and
shows normal life in Germany before dictatorship. People On Sunday is the third
album by Domenique Dumont. Freshly signed to The Leaf Label, having previously
released two albums on Parisian electronic / dance label Antinote.
