Aloof is a debut release by DRTYWHTVNS (Cameron Rice). Album was produced with help from Dash and internetboy. Aloof features guest vocals from Dos Grandiose and proxy.exe. Cameron expresses his feelings of becoming distant from the people around him leading to a lack of joy for daily trivial interactions. The album explores the simultaneous exuberance and depression when trying to reconcile yourself to the capitalistic vice of “purpose”. The closing track is a final relief, a sense of death to escape the need to earn money or have purpose. What would a world be like with no financial need?
