Portland Music Month: DoublePlusGood, Colin Jenkins, Soft Cheese
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
DoublePlusGood is the long-running romantic pop project of Portlander Erik Carlson. Often known for his shimmering layers of production, Carlson has created a sound that beautifully combines melancholy crooner with dream pop textures. Backed by a four-piece band, audiences are transported to a 1960s-era romance film where the protagonist can’t get enough jukebox slow jams.
Since its birth over a decade ago, DoublePlusGood has released multiple albums and EPs, been featured on several local compilation albums, and has been trusted support for acts like Ariel Pink, Wild Ones, and Typhoon. Carlson also single-handedly ran an independent record label, SoHiTek, that has been home to Hosannas, Fanno Creek, Pocketknife, and more.
