For Alli Deleo and Francis Hooper, Doohickey Cubicle is where they feel the most free. 10 years into creating music together, the Vancouver alt-pop duo make bold sonic choices while the absurd humour found in their lyrics and visuals is a vehicle for deeper introspection. It’s a combination that keeps Doohickey Cubicle consistently captivating.
On Good At It, their third full-length release, eclectic layers of textured synths and electronic beats are propulsive enough to get your body moving. Within the album’s dimly-lit club vibe is where Deleo and Hooper reflect on their personal values, capitalism, and, following Hooper’s cancer diagnosis and subsequent recovery, impermanence.
Self-produced and recorded at the pair’s home studio, Good At It was made by honouring inspiration whenever it hit. The dancefloor-ready instrumentals came first and the lyrics followed. The chaotic groove of “Party Jail” is akin to a bad trip, a fitting soundtrack for a song about Hooper receiving an unexpected phone call from his oncologist while at a bachelor party. On the wobbly title track, Deleo and Hooper ride on the back of a negative thought on its way to ruin your day. But even after a fight against an inner saboteur, the battleground is littered with glitter.
Doohickey Cubicle takes listeners to unexpected places on Good At It. That jolt is exactly what the pair are trying to evoke in their own lives. Throughout the album, Deleo and Hooper actively resist being desensitized to the world around them. Here, they give themselves permission to feel, fail, and to have fun. The throbbing closing track “Don’t Let Them Numb You” is a last call to connect with yourself and your community – ideally on a sweaty dance floor, moving uninhibitedly.
