Aftermath

Emerging from the quiet edges of rural Louisiana, Poppa (aka Rivers) crafts soundscapes that live between worlds — where Primitive Ambient textures meet Lo-fi Soul, Indie grit, and Experimental pulse. Drawing on a wide emotional spectrum, Poppa’s music blends dusty analog warmth with glitchy digital haze, channeling the raw spirit of Jazzy Blues, Electronic minimalism, and Art Rock storytelling.

Each track feels like a sonic diary entry — vulnerable, spacious, and unpredictable. With a DIY ethos and genre-blurring instincts, Poppa creates music for deep nights, wandering minds, and anyone searching for meaning in distortion.

Whether floating through ambient dreamscapes or crackling over lo-fi rhythms, Poppa’s sound resists easy classification — but resonates with listeners craving truth, texture, soul & noise.

Just messing around learning, experimenting, playing and expressing myself. My little collection of demos, songs, experiments and instrumentals. I hope you enjoy them. I'm a guitarist / Vocalist / Producer and enjoy learning to express my moods, emotions, dreams and thoughts as I go.

Thank you all for the likes comments and reposts.

I have added a support link as I am struggling to keep up my subscriptions here currently and it would help me keep on creating and posting more songs. Thank you if you read this far lol.

We inhabit a space somewhere on the outskirts of avant-jazz and punk rock, Dogs h8 Rats are genre defying, and full of surprises. The music is born of improvisational performances so with a little luck you'll catch the "mistakes and imperfections" now and then, or as Miles Davis once said "Don't fear mistakes, there are none" and that ethos is in clear evidence within the music of Dh8R's. The core of Dh8R's is made up of Douglas Wilkerson and Michael Grimes who collaborate with friends old and new."

❤️ Thank you for buying music from independent artists! We need to pay our rent and electricity bills, feed our cats, buy food, car insurance, and all that other stuff too...You can buy our music on Bandcamp.
