DOC– Debut solo LP from Gravel Records recording artist and Giraffe Nuts member Alltruisms. The album distills 16 fully-realized tracks into a 45-minute journey, guided by a man of our times, who is most of all a traveler. He is like the rest of us. Politically aware, but faced with more immediate job problems, car problems, girl problems, and mostly getting by with a dark sense of humor. Clusterbombs is an innovative hip-hop release that is sure to please fans of artists such as Sage Francis, Slug, and Talib Kweli etc.
