Cass McCombs is an American singer-songwriter, born in 1977 in Concord, California, USA. With a unique blend of folk and indie rock, his music captivates audiences around the world. Inspired by artists such as *Woods*, *Damien Jurado*, and *Smog*, McCombs has created a distinct sound that resonates with listeners.

Known for his introspective lyrics and soulful melodies, McCombs has released numerous critically acclaimed albums throughout his career. His music explores themes of love, loss, and self-reflection, drawing listeners into a world of raw emotion and heartfelt storytelling.

Influenced by iconic musicians like *Kurt Vile* and *M. Ward*, McCombs continues to push boundaries with his innovative songwriting style. His songs have been described as poetic masterpieces that effortlessly blend genres and evoke deep emotions.

Domino is an independent label founded in Putney, South West London by *a694357* and his partner Jacqui Rice in 1993. The label initially focused on American acts such as *Sebadoh*, *Pavement* or *Royal Trux* before signing British acts in the late '90s.

The label operates a US division, located in Brooklyn, which output was initially identified by its own catalogue number schemes, DOMUS then DNO (used until 2013), when the releases handled by the UK headquarters are identified by WIG (albums) and RUG (singles and EPs) catalogue numbers.

The company operating the label, *Warp Records*, diversified, establishing a publishing arm and a series of labels (*Double Six Recordings*, *Weird World Record Co.*, *Rephlex*, ...).

Domino release Cass McCombs's new anthology, 'A Folk Set Apart', subtitled 'Rarities, B-Sides and Space Junk, Etc.' It's an alternate retelling of the last decade in the life of the extraordinary songwriter Cass McCombs. 'A Folk Set Apart' is nineteen tracks in all (11 songs long with 8 digital bonus tracks to square up with the CD version). It very well may be the most compelling album he's released, showcasing McCombs' thematic and emotional diversity. These songs (five of which are unreleased never to be heard before) have been unearthed from the so-called underground - culled from the various limited, rare sources from which they were initially released on different independent labels on both sides of the pond, now compiled by Domino. For the past decade, most of these have been next to impossible to find, or unveiled on rare 7"s, and for the first time are now readily available. 'A Folk Set Apart' is a glimpse behind the studio curtain at one of the greatest songwriters of the 21st century. Fare thee well, Cass.LP - The LP is a single 180 Gram vinyl in a Gatefold jacket, which includes a printed inner sleeve and an MP3 download card. 11 Track LP plus 8 digital bonus Tracks.CD - 19 Tracks.
