Langston Doobs has found his sauce on his new eight-track EP, All out of Fucks 2. The original, five-track All out of Fucks dropped January 11, and now Doobs has given us some new sounds to vibe to in quarantine. This second installment shows growth for Langston: Having just graduated from UW with an audio engineering degree, he concocts his own production on penultimate track “For the Weekend,” manifesting a flow that is all his own. 

Written and produced by Doobs, “For the Weekend” gives Kid Cudi vibes as Doobs mixes melodic vocals with some spoken vulnerability. He sings, “Living for the weekend, like we did when we were just kids.” Nostalgic, we’re placed back into our youthful shoes, remembering simpler times. Not caring or giving any fucks about Monday, we find ourselves getting lost on weekends along with Doobs.

The other standout track, “Rising,” is a song about being in the shadows but still grinding. Doobs states he’s been “rising for a minute, they didn’t see though.” He speaks to his consistency and ambition as he continues to make music. The production is layered and will send your heart and body to rise to April’s pink moon. Or at least into the weekend as you glue your ears to this EP.  

All out of Fucks 2 is filled with catchy tracks that will give you a glimpse into the artistry of Langston Doobs. This EP is a manifold of styles of Doobs and a listen we all need during this lockdown.

Dropping a new music video for “Anymore,” Doobs continues to surprise his audience. He gives us more as he uses graphics aligned with his lyrics to drive home the point that he doesn’t give a fuck anymore. The vibe of the video — filmed in the International District — is high in vitality as he nonchalantly walks down the street. The one-and-a-half-minute video is just the beginning of many more from this local artist.
