Dom Mariani releases new single World On Its Head in lead up to new album Apple of Life.
Single out now – Listen Here!
Album Apple of Life out October 31.
Revered Australian guitar-pop craftsman Dom Mariani makes a triumphant return with Apple of Life, his long-awaited second solo album, due for release October 31 on Alive Naturalsound Records.
Recorded in Fremantle, Western Australia, Apple of Life is a rich collection of hook-heavy, guitar-driven gems that reaffirm Mariani’s place at the top of the melodic rock pantheon.
Known for his pioneering work with The Stems, DM3, and The Someloves, Mariani’s new solo outing distills decades of songwriting mastery into a sparkling set of tracks that feel both timeless and fresh.

The new single “World On Its Head”, out now across all digital platforms, is a standout example of Mariani’s signature sound—jangle-pop finesse wrapped in razor-sharp guitar lines and infectious vocal harmonies.
Says Dom, “For the most part of my musical career, I’ve been obsessed with melody; Irresistible hooks and phrases and propelled them forward with high-energy rock and roll guitar riffs. Then, it’s about arranging and layering those riffs, weaving in vocal harmonies, and using a few tricks of the trade to fashion a song like ‘World on Its Head’…and you’ll have my ‘pop-sided guitar’ alter ego in full flight.”
Previous singles “Apple of Life” and “Jangleland” are also available now on all streaming platforms, giving listeners an early taste of what’s to come—a vibrant mix of shimmering pop sensibilities and raw garage energy.
With a career that spans over four decades and a reputation as one of Australia’s most influential guitar-pop songwriters, Apple of Life finds Mariani in peak form.
World On Its Head and previous singles, Apple of Life and Jangleland, are available on all streaming platforms. Dom Mariani’s new album Apple of Life is out October 31 via Alive Naturalsound Records.
