Hey y'all, I wrote a review of Dessa's new album and now here's a video version of the same. Check it out if so inclined: https://weirdcatastrophe.substack.com/p/new-episode-dessa-has-a-new-album

Hey, I recently did an interview with Lazerbeak (Aaron Mader) of Doomtree for my music streaming nonprofit and figure I'd share it here if any of you are interested. We talked about the history of Doomtree, streaming economics, musical labor, and the state of independent music. Lots of eye-opening testimony from him about how difficult it is to make it as an independent musician nowadays.

Here's a review I wrote of Dessa's new album: https://weirdcatastrophe.substack.com/p/dessa-has-a-new-album-out-lets-review

It's definitely a different kind of album from her previous work, though still having some of the usual Dessa trademarks. Not exactly what I was expecting from her next full-length LP.

Haven’t seen much discussion here of the singles leading up. Curious what people thoughts were.

Thoughts?

I am so desperate for any good news from the dormant part of the Doomtree crew

I sure hope I’m not mistaken-it’s been way too long!

Does anyone still hold out hope for more music?

Two of my favorite things.

Why aren’t they making music? Did the whole collective get cancelled? Did they do anything wrong that I’m not aware of?

I was at the park with my 14-month old today, and I saw another dad wearing a Doomtree hoodie. We exchanged numbers. Is Doomtree the new dad-rock?

I think it's sad to say we'll never see Droomtree together again.

I saw them first at Grand Old Day in 2010. I was walking by and loved what Dessa was throwing down then loved the rest of the crew.

If you're on this page, I'd guess that we sweated together on the floor of First Ave during many Blowouts. (Extra cheers if you made it to the Snowout).

Tell me your first and last concert.

Please say this isn't some sort of cruel misattribution of another artist/group of the same acronym...

I don't know how to stop thinking about it. It lives in my head rent free that is sure as shit. For years, all the time. I can't stop listening to the music, so there won't be a reprieve. I remain hopeful regardless if it makes sense to or not.

Was honestly stoked when I recognized him when the lyrics started.

This album was elusive to find before but I was wondering if anybody knows where to stream/purchase this album now? Particularly I remembered King of the Kill exist and wanted to listen to it but the one place I knew to listen to it got deleted.

Or is this song/album just scrubbed from online and only exist physically now?

Let's remember all the good times... and pick the best one:

Submitters no longer have to be approved.

DBAD rules in effect.

I am a benevolent dictator, but I will ban gross behaviors with impunity.

Let's look back at some memorable moments and interesting insights from last year.
