Abstract Expression is the second album from San Francisco-based avant-pop producer Dominique Leone, and first for vanguard American experimental music label Important Records.

Dominique is a classically trained artist and composer originally from Texas. He?s one of a growing number of college-educated musical auteurs with more than a slight command of pop history and theory chops, and writing songs for joyous, infatuated (or over saturated) people. All of his music could be considered ?pop? of a sort, though with dashes of prog, classical music, electronica, and even noise. It?s catchy but ambitious; crafted but not sterile; interesting but not pretentious. It?s just a lot fun!

He lists Brian Wilson, Claude Debussy, Randy Newman, Paul McCartney, Andy Partridge, Glenn Gould, ABBA, Miles Davis, Magma, Fleetwood Mac and Olivier Messiaen as personal heroes. He?s played, written or recorded with Lindstrom, Boredoms, Mungolian JetSet, Kevin Blechdom, Cryptacize, Sonic Youth?s William Winant, R. Stevie Moore, Wobbly, MaryClare Brzytwa, Odawas and many others.
