From its opening moments, it's clear that G Is for Deep is a different sort of beast. Adam "Doseone" Drucker's first solo LP for the label he founded fifteen years ago finds this one-man Oakland arts colony more lyrically naked than ever, singing instead of rapping, dressed in a Technicolor swirl of synthesizer, drum machine, hacked Gameboy and layered voice. To call this pop might be misleading, but there are indeed choruses here. To call it R&B might confuse, but these are songs about one hardworking man's ups and downs with life, love, friendship and fear. After years of innovating via projects like cLOUDDEAD, 13 & God, Themselves and Subtle, Dose returns alone holding one of the brightest records of his career.1 Dancing X 2 Last Life 3 I Fell 4 Thy Pattern 5 Therapist This 6 End & Egg 7 Owl Shark 8 See Answer 9 Arm & Armageddon 10 The Bends
