WALLPAPER.

Wallpaper. was conceived in 2005, as Eric Frederic (aka Ricky Reed)’s way of making earnest, artful music while satirizing the lack of genuine sentiment in mainstream pop. The 2009 full length, Doodoo Face bangs at face value, and the record’s title is a reference to that: a contorted expression inspired by discovering something unbelievably funky. From the cavernous thump and honking sax of opener “Indecent” to the warped hyphy of “ddd” to “Doodoo Face” itself, this is dark, nasty, load-bearing booty funk of the Oakland house party variety.
