Search - D+ :: What Is Doubt for (Spkg)

"The sound of D+ stumbling on clarity, an emphasis on music-making over the music product: more verb, less noun please. Wit and intellect are rarely wrapped in such sluggish, minimalistic beauty." -- Tiny Mix Tapes "Lunsford, Blau, and Elverum are too creative to let one album sum up the work of D+. Consider On Purpose more of a refresher on what makes D+ infectious as you sit and wait for a sign of new life from the notsupergroup." -- Electronic Voice Phenomenon "These 15 tracks may qualify as `shambling'--an irresistibly overused term when it comes to indie rock--but there's enough charm, sincerity, and insight throughout On Purpose to smooth over the rough patches." -- Seattle Sound With their sixth proper release (seven if you include the rarities, hits, and live tracks comp On Purpose), D+ continues further down their path of minimalism. Each record strips bare another layer of Bret Lunsford's musings on the world in which we live in. What Is Doubt For? is perhaps the barest and darkest incarnation of D+ yet. Recorded mostly in Phil Elverum's living room, the songs were played into one microphone--one track--mono. What Is Doubt For? lives up to its title and asks you to do the same.
