DoublePlusGood is an electro pop duo from Portland Or. One pops and sings, the other beats and swings.
We're currently working on a new release entitled the Dancipation Proclamation. It'll be sweet.
Praise for DoublePlusGood's Debut
"2007's Somehow Everyone I Know Is Here brings together an earnest, up-tempo sensibility (TeenBeat Records fans, take note) with a more restrained sensibility sketching out brief interludes in Carlson's life. Fuse that with Carlson's more impressionistic tendencies, and you have a project capable of covering a much wider emotional range than you might expect." - Portland Mercury
"Likable for its lack of pretension, listenable for its pleasing single-note progressions layered over a colorful, stormy backtrack, Somehow Everyone I Know is Here is more than a worthy local effort. It is a thoroughly satisfying piece of musical art"
- Eugene Weekly
"DoublePlusGood is sure to make you all dancey in your pantsy"
- Willamette Week

Dancipation Proclamation. I love it. Speaking of things I love, Stu reminded me the other day that I carried the book about crop circles around in my purse with me for like a year. That was a good memory. I'm totally NOT moving to Kansas, but I am reading a book called "What's the Matter with Kansas," which is super great. Also, don't forget to register to vote by October 14th if you haven't already. Yeah, that's the election coming up side of me popping out there. It's what I do.
well there are a couple that other people took (some where I look pretty heinous, it's cool though :) The professional ones will be up after aug. 25th on nicolewickens. com HOpefully they will be pretty cool. How's the studio goin? You having fun up in Portland?
