Something New (demo)

DoublePlusGood is the long-running romantic pop project of Portlander Erik Carlson. Often known for his shimmering layers of production, Carlson has created a sound that beautifully combines melancholy crooner with dreampop textures. Backed by a four-peice band, audiences are transported to a 1960s era romance film where the protagonist can't get enough jukebox slow jams.

Since its birth over a decade ago, DoublePlusGood has released mutiple albums and EPs, been featured on several local compliation albums, and has been trusted support for acts like Ariel Pink, Wild Ones, and Typhoon. Carlson also single-handedly ran an independant record label, SoHiTek, that has been home to Hosannas, Fanno Creek, Pocketknife, and more.

Just here from song a week on reddit. I will follow back. I have a really bad case of depression and anhedonia and I find it hard to make myself do anything. When I try making my real music, although I like the results it takes me ages, and I just can't face that kind of hard work at the moment. So I'm just going to write any old crap. Not worry if I'm repeating myself, or if if the melody has been written by someone I've never heard of. Not worry about anything. Just finish stuff. I have really low standards on this page.
