Dom Mariani, the iconic frontman of The Stems, DM3, and Datura4, returns with ‘Apple of Life,’ the latest title track from his upcoming solo album, out October 31 via Alive Naturalsound Records.

With its slide guitar, rich harmonies, and irresistibly catchy hooks, the song is a masterclass in Mariani’s signature brand of melodic power-pop. Following the bright jangle of his first single, ‘Jangleland,’ ‘Apple of Life’ takes things a step further with layered and hypnotic sound, yet effortlessly accessible.

“I wanted the recording to stay true to the simplicity and arrangement. I didn’t want to over complicate it, just to build it in a more harmonic way and capture the subtle power of its hypnotic groove. The theme based around the gentle reminder that we’ve only get one shot at life, to make the most of it.”
