Comment: this handful of compositions sounds like it was driven by a vocalist who is seriously depressed and who sings in a muffled manner even if the adverse state of mood is tried to hide with digital filters and echo chambers. I did even hear the line - I am a worthless piece of shit (being sung impressively). However, the best part of pop music used to pop out due to the artist's distress and suffering. DOARR's music is craftily embellished with acerbic synths and dynamical beats and some speech samples full of coherent synergy and ennobling impulses. One can feel that these hypnotic loops create something curative and purgative. Musically it can be considered a part of the movement of chillwave/glo-fi/hypnagogic pop though it is not an average example within the genre. Funnily, at Discogs it is tagged as dub, and house. Maybe it is in this way. Of course, the music can be considered a sort of synth-pop though it has a little to do with classic synth-pop artists like Pet Shop Boys, and Erasure, for example because it is more acidic, it is more atmospheric, it is more technical. The overwhelming issue is a part of an excellent Swedish imprint, redstarcommunity.
