In 2012, 22-year-old Los Angeles producer Jonwayne made his debut on the esteemed Stones Throw label with this 43-song smorgasbord of beats. Its intention is to coax you inside the mind of its creator, who's happiest when spontaneously exploring ever-morphing ideas. More than structure, Oodles of Doodles is about mood. Jonwayne’s signature is to combine the ominous and the playful, a tactic that often results in a groaning, gloomy bassline dissolving into a fizz of synthesizer texture. Though the beats are frequently seductive, there's something forlorn and introverted about them. It's the internalized landscape of the lonely teenager.
