Themselves

The third LP from Themselves (doseone and Jel). A solid rock of unpredictable, aggressive alternative rap, originally released on Anticon in 2009.

A mixtape collecting contributions from all the creative minds who ever inspired a Themselves song. Featuring cLOUDDEAD, Aesop Rock, Slug, DJ Baku, D Styles, Passage, The Pedestrian, Serengeti, Sole, DJ Andrew, Alias, Buck 65, and more.

Companion release to CrownsDown, collecting related material released alongside the Themselves back-catalogue on Bandcamp.

A split 7" picture disc pairing Anticon's Themselves with Domino's Hood. Building on the trans-Atlantic connection from Hood's contributions to earlier cLOUDDEAD releases, both groups offer exclusive tracks. Themselves combine live drums and vocals over panned sound treatments, bass rumbles, and synth lines.

A companion piece to The No Music, remixed down to its smallest intestine and back toward the light until only the original track order remains. Features a new Themselves song alongside guest remixers: Controller 7, matth, Hrvatski, WHY?, Hood, Alias, A Grape Dope (John Herndon), Fog, Odd Nosdam, The Notwist, and Electric Birds. The No Music was picked as a New York Times top ten record by Neil Strauss.

Produced by Jel and Doseone, recorded during 2001 and April-May 2002. Additional instrumentation and production from WHY? on tracks 6 and 7, Alias on track 5, Dax Pierson on tracks 3 and 11, Alex Kort on tracks 5 and 11 (both of Subtle), and John Herndon of Tortoise on tracks 9 and 11.

Themselves, formerly Them, are doseone and Jel. The former, a restless polymath whose neuroses become something lovely; the latter, the drum machine's premier musician, whose distinct lo-bit sound gets him coveted by vocalists far and wide. Originally released as a self-titled album by "Them" in May 2000 when little about Anticon was known or understood.
