we've reversed the modern


Youtube and I had some pretty good times there for awhile, but that fling is over. Doomtree is a hip-hop band I've been familiarizing myself with this past term, but never got around to writing about. They've been often characterized as "aggressive" sounding--which harks back to various member's punk-rock roots--but don't be afraid. They co-opt a lot of nostalgic big-band anthems/soulful trumpet wails while keeping song structures astonishingly premeditated. Also, I stand by what I say regarding (these bilingual!?) clever hip-hop lyrics. Just listen to it. It'll feel good. You can thank me later.
