“It’s been his ship since day one,” says Sen Morimoto, a Japanese-American multi-instrumentalist who’s known Lucas since middle school. He puts in work every day to keep energy up: booking shows, emailing music blogs, and selling one-off merch pieces via Twitter DMs. Within the scene, Lucas is like some combination of coach, starting forward, and team mascot. Some of their songs seem to want to be taken seriously, and there are plenty of earnest moments in the Dark World catalog alongside all the jokes. A lot of their music is just as ambiguous, not just defying genre but also frequently defying normal standards of taste. It’s a label and a collective, though its members don’t often use those words, choosing instead to call it a “syndicate” or resisting classification entirely. It’s catchy and a little bit dumb, an unpolished afternoon project that sticks with you.ĭark World is a group of 20-plus boys, most of them from the woodsy towns of Western Massachusetts. Filmed on VHS then crudely edited in iMovie, the video is a no-budget, vaguely gothic posse showcase that happens to be set in a barn. The stumbly beat was made by Nick Atkinson, 20, who goes by Ghost, and the song features Cooper’s angelically reverbed voice too. DJ Lucas - is probably the closest thing Dark World has to a “hit.” Lucas raps on the track, his flow growl-like. With nearly 47,000 YouTube views at the time of this writing, “Creme De La Creme” - a murky earworm by 22-year-old Lucas Kendall, a.k.a. It’s avant-garde in an innocent way: the production is tinny and cheap-sounding, and something about Cooper’s vocal just feels off, as if English wasn’t his first language. In the clip, he sits backwards on an old wooden chair and exaggeratedly mouths the words: She say she wanna dance with me/ But she don’t know how. Handy, a baby-faced singer who records as Lucy. For a portion of the video, he wiggles around in a down comforter, like a lumpy caterpillar with a human head.Ī few dozen clips later, there’s an unhinged ballad called “She Say She Wana” by Cooper B. When the song starts, Gods Wisdom’s delivery is coarse and phlegmy and slurred, sounding sort of like chopped-and-screwed screamo or some kind of evil, bedroom-pop approximation of crunk music. It opens with footage of sitcom legend Roseanne Barr talking about the CIA mind control in Hollywood. There’s a homespun video for a sort-of rap song called “Christian Dior,” for example, that was made by a 22-year-old named Ruvi Ender Arnold, who records as Gods Wisdom. It might also be on my right ear but not as much but Idk.Dark World’s YouTube page is easy to get lost in. Rarely it goes to both of my ears or spreads but mainly it's been on my left ear. I just want to get it checked out just to be on the safe side. But on a daily basis I can hear it but it's no big deal. But I still hear it til today like this moment. but I figured it was normal but now since I gotten smarter and mature I decided to look up what it was. I think I might either have the mineres disease or tinnitus or whatever because for years I've been hearing ringing in my ears or left ear mostly. Meaning I know it won't happen but my anxiety is taking over making me scared and rarely panic sometimes to where I have my mom sleep with me. I believe in ghost but that experience never happend with me.
I just think if I try to sleep peacefully then I would hear whispers or I would feel something rub on me and open my eyes someone would be there. The other is that I'm afraid sleeping by myself in the dark. Then when I wake up everyday I feel like I need to sleep in more because I'm tired and sleepy still. Not like through until the middle of the night but my bed time is usually around 10:30 or suppose to be but I usually fall asleep between 12:30 to about 2 the most. And I can't sleep well at night and I stay up late. Most of the times I overthink and I don't want that feeling. And everyday I fidget or walk around non stop back and forth and when I do I think. Then everyday it keeps happening I keep thinking and then I over think and it could be positive but if it's negative then it will get me scared or have me keep thinking about it. I usually worry about things that shouldn't be worried about it shouldn't be worried about that much. For the past months I've been experiencing an anxiety like feeling.
