Boomkat Product Review: '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. Through his work in those other groups, as well as his pending Nevermen collaboration with Mike Patton and TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe, Dose honed his production skills until he could make the music he heard in his head. His aim with Deep was to do just that—compose ten original pieces, rather than simply hit record and catch what came.
In 1998, Doseone released his first solo album, Hemispheres. In 2000, he released Circle, a collaborative album with producer Boom Bip. [5] In 2012, he released the solo album, G Is for Deep, on Anticon. Download G Is For Deep No download links are allowed! Has it Leaked is not a download site. It is strictly forbidden to share links to albums via file sharing sites (Zippyshare, Torrent, Kingdom Leaks etc.), torrents or sites which themselves link to copyrighted files. Users who ignore this rule will be banned from the site.
Meanwhile, he play-tested the instrumentals to a packed house at the San Francisco offshoot of Los Angeles’s influential Low End Theory club. When it came to the vocals, he took a different approach. Aiming for the spontaneity of his raps but conceding his limits as a singer, Dose would surround himself by pages of unsorted lyrics at night, drink copious amounts of whiskey, and sing at the top of his lungs. At 7:00 AM with a pot of coffee, he’d revisit and re-record each part stone sober. In the end, G Is for Deep is something both considered and impulsive, equal parts brains and heart. There is a manic electricity to songs like opener “Dancing X,” bassy kicks and burbling keys popping and pulsing in oddly harmonious sync. “I Fell” isn’t afraid to get noisy even as it embraces melody—a perfect aural counterpoint to its subject of wanting nothing more than to fall in love, but being utterly cloistered against that outcome.
“Therapist This” slowly grows from its low-slung beginnings into a towering sort of maximal soul as Dose sings of guilt as “a fearsome church built from black stone.” His voice is alternately a mighty choir, a friendly whisper, a jilted growl. The album buzzes like a neon bulb, a lovely contrast to its ultimate question, poised on “The Bends”—”What exactly do you not understand about the blues?”'.

Payment Security We take the security of our website and of your transactions extremely seriously. We encrypt all traffic involving personal data with industry-standard SSL certificates and we are also PCI compliant - meaning that we follow all current data security standards and undergo weekly scans monitoring our security status. Additionally, we do not store any card details at all, all payments are handled using a system of Tokenisation which is an industry-standard method of secure payment handling. When you place an order with us payment is either handled via your Paypal account or if you choose to pay by credit/debit card we create a 'Token' with your payment details which is stored by the Bank payment gateway. When you return to make a purchase it basically reactivates the 'Token' so no details need to be entered again and those details are not stored by us.
Shipping FAQs Free Shipping: We offer free postage on orders over £50.00 to the UK sent via Royal Mail.To qualify for free postage the order must be sent as one package. Therefore, all items must be in stock or you should be happy to wait until all items become available to ship so they can be sent as one package. Downloads and Gift Vouchers do not count towards free shipping. Please note that Pre-Orders do not count towards free shipping as their release dates are liable to fluctuate.
Stock Status If your order contains items that have different estimated shipping dates (for example, ‘available to pre-order’, ‘in stock’, ‘available to ship in 1-3 days’) you will be given an option either to wait for everything to become available to ship in one package, or to ship each item as soon as it becomes available. Stock arrives at the office throughout the day so the stock status of items on the website can change several times a day.
Important Note: all items that are not currently displaying as In Stock need to be ordered in from our suppliers and the estimated shipping dates are only an indication of when we expect those items to come into stock. If there are any unforeseen issues with availability we will notify you immediately. Premium Packaging At checkout you are able to select a premium packaging option for a fee of £1.50. We pack all of our orders using appropriate packaging, however when you pick this option we use a wider cruciform offering additional protection if you have a particularly heavy-handed postman. UK and International Shipping Options We offer two services: 1.
First Class Royal Mail - for UK and for International orders: The package will be delivered by your national postal service. Royal Mail sets limits on the weight of packages, so if the order becomes too heavy to ship in one package the order will be split into two or more packages. The packages will be marked accordingly, for example, if an order has to be sent over two packages the packages would be labelled ‘1 of 2’ and ‘2 of 2’. Parcelforce tracked courier service: This comprises a flat box fee for UK (and some European countries), and a sliding scale based on weight for other countries. Parcelforce is a Monday - Friday service. Packages sent via Parcelforce can be tracked here: Parcelforce can only ship to PO boxes in certain countries, details can be found once you have made your country selection at checkout.
Once you have added items to your crate you can select your country and choose either to send everything in one package or to ship as soon as the items become available. At this point the total given is a guide to the cost and more shipping configurations are available once you have logged in and proceeded to checkout. At the checkout you will still be able to add or take away items from the crate and change/compare your shipping options. Pre-orders are treated as separate packages to items that are either in stock or available to order. If pre-orders share the same release date then they can be ordered and shipped together. However pre-order release dates are liable to change, if you have ordered two pre-orders with the same date to ship together and then one release date gets pushed back, we will ship the available pre-order straight away and the second pre-order as soon as it becomes available with no extra shipping charge. If you choose to ship your order across more than one package you can select the Royal Mail service for one package and Parcelforce courier for the other. Exceptions:.
if an individual item weighs more than 2kg and you are outside of the UK the package must be sent via courier as Royal Mail sets a 2kg limit on packages. Royal Mail covers postage all countries, however Parcelforce is not available in every country. Missing Packages If an order does not arrive, we can issue a replacement package. In the UK we consider a package to be missing after 15 working days. Most international orders are considered missing after 25 working days with the exception of France, South America and Africa - packages to these destinations are considered missing after 60 working days.
Before we can issue a replacement, customers must have checked with their local depot/sorting office to see if their package is awaiting pick up. If we think there is an issue with the shipping address, or that packages are being stolen in the post, we reserve the right to refuse future orders to these addresses. Insurance We automatically add an insurance supplement to orders over £30.
Orders between £30 - £49.99 are charged a 60p insurance supplement. Orders over £50 are charged a £3 insurance supplement. Returned Packages If a package is returned to us because of an incomplete address, or because it was not collected from a local depot, we will have to charge you again in order to re-send it.
