What even are genres?

Dopamine Drip is Electronic music that veers into Goth Rock, Post Punk, Prog Rock, Industrial and sometimes even Pop—plus Surf Rock, Reggae, Dub, and Trip-Hop. So I’m honestly not sure. Post-Modern?

I started as a drummer in garage bands at age 15, playing mostly Goth Rock-inspired punk rock (badly, and on a jazz kit), and later at home using a 4-track mixer and whatever was at hand. 

I’ve always been more interested in new musical ideas and raw enthusiasm over the craft of musicianship for its own sake. Plus nearly every garage band that I was in preferred the thrill of playing an improvised jam together over repeated rehearsals of the same songs.

Influenced heavily by these musical traditions, Dopamine Drip continues their spirit in an electronic format using purely synthetic instruments, plus a few personal field recordings. 

Many of these tracks can shift and change drastically over time, so if you don’t like one right away, give it a minute. 

Plus it can take a while to get oriented when typical genre signposts aren't reliable. Many genres can collide at once, or appear and disappear at various points in the song. 

I like to anchor things in a groove, but change up moods and melodies unpredictably. Each instrument can seem to lead, but seamlessly trades the spotlight with the others. 

This all comes together or doesn't, depending on the flexibility of your tastes, your tolerance for noise, and whether you need your songs to just friggin hold still a minute.

Please leave a comment. Good or bad, I’ll take it. 

Thanks for listening,
