Robert DeLong is all grown up. Or, at least, he’s ready to leap into the next phase of his life and artistic career. Originally from Seattle but now based in Los Angeles, the songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist has always reflected himself in his music, but on PLAYLIST of DOOM, his fourth full-length album, Robert embraces a sense of raw honesty that seeps through the cleverly-crafted lyrics. “My first few records were more existential,” he says. “In your twenties you think you know everything about the universe and you want to tell everyone everything you know. But as you get older you learn more about yourself and relationships, so it made more sense for me to write about that.”

PLAYLIST of DOOM, Robert’s first release with Round Hill Records, showcases the varied thematic and sonic influences that go into Robert’s music, which he dubs eclectic alternative electronic pop. Its lyrics nudge towards relatable experiences and feelings, encapsulating the highs and lows of the human conditions through the lens of compelling songwriting. It’s an evolution from his earlier work, but also a full circle moment as songs and sounds nod to his 2013 debut, Just Movement, which featured breakout single “Global Concepts,” which went platinum in Australia.

In the years since, Robert has dropped two more albums and two EPs, along with several notable singles, including 2018’s “Favorite Color Is Blue,” which featured K. Flay, and 2021’s “Did It To Myself,” featuring Lights. Ashe also appeared on two songs on Walk Like Me. His 2015 single “Long Way Down” peaked at No. 3 on the U.S. Alternative chart and became his biggest streaming track on Spotify. The musician boasts more 170 million streams on Spotify and 30 million views on YouTube. Over the years, he has performed at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Outside Lands and Reading and Leeds, captivating fans with his dynamic, frenzied live performances. Now, Robert is ready to step into something new.
