Doohickey Cubicle Let Their Sense of Humour Show on ''Don't Fix Anything ;)' Published Mar 09, 2021 8 Dream pop is often more about "vibe" than songwriting, but Vancouver duo Doohickey Cubicle — the quirky new moniker of the similarly strange Booty EP — are unafraid to cut the mood with a joke or a perfectly out-of-place lyric. This is, after all, a band that put a winky emoticon in the title of Consider "Hotel Bed," a woozy keyboard ballad about missing a lover that name-checks "Nibs in the mini-fridge." Or the wobbly "Milano Sport," a detailed account of swimming in a public pool that comes complete with a spoken-word interlude about using a flutterboard in the slow lane. And then there's rhythm section, which has a curious tendency to cap off each dreamy tune with jazzy drum fills and showy bass licks.
