The Doozer - Sheet Music

The Doozer builds. He has previously built stone houses and wooden ships. He is currently building music. Raised around the Fenlands of Cambridgeshire, in the arse end of nowhere, the city drew closer and closer, the lights brighter and the time shorter.  The city informs his music. His music informs the city. Songs evolve around watching and talking, buying and borrowing.  Characters pass by, situations are imagined, colours are added and the resultant is a forming song. His debut album, ‘Sheet Music’, was recorded mainly on Saturday mornings, bright and early. The songs weren’t complete until the recordings were complete. The spaces always changed. Instruments and voices were layered. Pop music was the aim; pop music isn’t quite the result. Pop music is The Doozer’s music, only filtered through all of the colours and sounds you’ve imagined when walking through the street or down your lane or when your batteries died. Musical reference points: Syd Barrett, Neutral Milk Hotel, Smog, none of the above. A key player in the Cambridge underground scene, The Doozer has worked in a number of projects and played shows with a range of artists including Sunburned Hand of the Man, MV & EE, Flower-Corsano, Animal Collective and Alasdair Roberts.   He has published a variety of music (in different guises) through solo releases, collaborations and band situations on his own imprints for the last few years, and also curates the Cambridge Palimpsest festival. The Doozer is currently keeping his shape-shifting tendencies in stock and for the time being simply is The Doozer.
