Dominae

Leanne Macomber was a singer for the Texas electronic music band Neon Indian, and was also in duo called Fight Bite.

[2][3] Artists that inspired Ejecta while making the album included Broadcast, Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, Orbital, Napolian, Cocteau Twins and The Human League.

[6] Ford said their style was “stuffed somewhere between the past and the future.”[7] Dominae opens with "Mistress", which writer Lee Wakefield of The 405 said it was Macomber's "seductive croon softening a somewhat gloomy declaration.

In the words of The Guardian critic Michael Cragg, it is "Built around a bubbling bassline and swathes of crystalline synth riffs," and "slinks around icily for the verses before unfurling into a dainty but naggingly catchy chorus, Macomber's hushed voice the perfect match for Ford's intricate production.

"Afraid of the Dark", the fifth track, is a disco song[8] that Polari Magazine's Andrew Darley said has rising-up warm synths that represent "the sound of someone, broken by love, who is building up strength to protect themselves in future.

"[10] "Jeremiah (The Denier)" is the sixth song, which Clash writer said had "a sun bleached feel, an atmosphere of late nights on the beach with the sand still warm underfoot.

[10] Earbuddy's Alex Daniel noted that in the chorus, the vocals are "washed in reverb, and while this makes most bands of this ilk sound cheesy, it adds an emotional layer to Ejecta's music that's sometimes missing otherwise."

"[12] On the ninth song on the record, "Small Town Girl", Macomber sings over an "aggressive drumbeat [...] how she desires to see her former flame six feet under, as she searches for a spot to dig his grave.

It earned a five-star review from Polari Magazine, where writer Andrew Darley, praising the musical and lyrical content, described it as an "accomplished album" where the group "have captured the cruelty and kindness of falling in love.

"[10] A reviewer for Mojo awarded the album three stars out of five, and called it "a clutch of slow-burning, sweetly-scented '80s synth pop tunes".

[12] On the negative side, James West of Loud and Quiet gave Dominae a four out of ten, calling their music "the sort of rubbery synthpop that the Basildon pair pretty much pioneered."
