CabinTwelve Brings Early 2000s Alt Rock Energy To ‘Doing Fine’

CabinTwelve taps into the nostalgic rush of early 2000s alternative rock with ‘Doing Fine’, a track that feels like it could have been lifted straight from the soundtrack to a skateboarding or snowboarding game.

If Tony Hawk Pro Skater or SSX Tricky were somehow turned into a song, ‘Doing Fine’ would probably sound something like this. CabinTwelve takes the attitude and energy associated with that era and gives it a modern production edge, creating a track that feels familiar without simply looking backwards.

At the heart of the production are tremolo guitars, guitar stabs and hard-hitting 808s, bringing together elements from alternative rock and contemporary electronic production. The combination gives ‘Doing Fine’ a restless, high-energy feel, while surreal vocal samples add another layer to the track and help push it beyond a straightforward throwback.

There is a deliberate contrast between the guitar-led instrumentation and heavier modern production. The early 2000s influence comes through strongly in the riffs and overall attitude, while the punch of the low end and use of vocal textures make the track feel firmly rooted in the present.

‘Doing Fine’ ultimately finds its appeal in that meeting point between old and new. CabinTwelve takes some of the most recognisable ingredients of alternative rock and reshapes them into something that feels built for movement, whether that means tearing through a skate park, racing down a virtual mountain or simply turning the volume up.

With its mix of distorted guitars, slamming 808s, sharp guitar accents and unusual vocal textures, ‘Doing Fine’ delivers an energetic alternative sound with plenty of personality. It is a track that embraces nostalgia without getting stuck in it.
