Album Notes & Community Reviews
Engineered by Yann Tomita, 'Doopee Time' is a wildly eclectic, incredibly quirky concept album styled as a surreal 1960s radio drama. The project utilizes massive sound collage and sampling to fuse vintage space age pop with highly playful, avant-garde art pop experimentation.
