Doris is the debut studio album by American rapper Earl Sweatshirt. It was released on August 20, 2013, through Odd Future Records and Tan Cressida Records, and distributed by Columbia Records. Doris follows his first mixtape, Earl, which was released in 2010 when he was sixteen. After returning from a forced stay in a Samoan boarding school, he began working on his debut album and signed a deal with Columbia, rather than Odd Future's Odd Future Records.

Doris features guest appearances from Vince Staples, Tyler, the Creator, Domo Genesis, Frank Ocean, SK La' Flare, Casey Veggies, Mac Miller, and RZA. Production was primarily handled by Sweatshirt under the pseudonym randomblackdude, alongside Christian Rich, Tyler, the Creator, the Neptunes, BadBadNotGood, Matt Martians, Samiyam, Frank Ocean, and RZA. The album was supported by three singles; "Chum", "Whoa", and "Hive".

Doris received widespread acclaim from critics, who praised Sweatshirt's lyricism and rhyme schemes along with the gritty underground production. The album also appeared on numerous critics' year-end lists. The album fared well commercially, debuting at number five on the US Billboard 200.

On February 8, 2012, rumors spread around the internet that Earl Sweatshirt had returned to the US from Coral Reef Academy in Samoa when a video of him surfaced on YouTube with a preview of a new song. He said if people wanted "the full thing" they would have to give him 50,000 followers on Twitter.{{YouTube|hidgtJsxm1g|Home}} He later confirmed on his new Twitter account{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/earlxsweat|title=Twitter|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141125073130/https://twitter.com/earlxsweat|archive-date=November 25, 2014}} that he had returned to his home in Los Angeles.{{cite tweet|user=earlxsweat|author=thebe kgositsile|number=167358768294793217|date=February 8, 2012|title=home.}} Three hours later, Sweatshirt reached 50,000 followers and released a new song on his website, entitled "Home", which ends with "...and I'm back. Bye".{{cite web |url=https://www.spin.com/2012/02/odd-futures-earl-sweatshirt-home-hasnt-lost-step/ |title=Odd Future's Earl Sweatshirt Is 'Home,' Hasn't Lost a Step | Newswire |work=Spin|date=February 9, 2012 |access-date=July 12, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130517144147/https://www.spin.com/2012/02/odd-futures-earl-sweatshirt-home-hasnt-lost-step/ |archive-date=May 17, 2013 }} Sweatshirt later said via Twitter that all the songs released prior to Oldie were old songs that he recorded before going abroad. On the same day Earl launched his website Terttlefer.com, which was later changed to Earlxsweat.com (after his Twitter username), and finally Earlsweatshirt.com. On May 2, 2012, Sweatshirt created his own record label imprint called Tan Cressida, which will be distributed through Columbia Records. He turned down several larger offers due to his priority of remaining close to Odd Future.{{cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/06/arts/music/earl-sweatshirt-is-back-from-the-wilderness.html?_r=1&pagewanted=3|title=After Exile, Career Reset.

Recording

Sweatshirt worked with the Neptunes and Chicago-based production duo Christian Rich for the track "Burgundy". Sweatshirt had heard of the two before, and the duo met with Sony's A&R staff for Sweatshirt to hear their beats. Taiwo Hassan of Christian Rich revealed to MTV News that Pharrell Williams spent most of the day working on Robin Thicke's hit song "Blurred Lines", but took a short break to work on "Burgundy" with Neptunes member Chad Hugo. The song title does not appear in the lyrics, but is a reference to Earl's grandmother's burgundy carpet. The song contains a sample from Preacher's "The Power of the Truth".{{cite web|url=http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=30371|title=Burgundy by Earl Sweatshirt Songfacts|publisher=Songfacts|access-date=September 19, 2015|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150923102551/http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=30371|archive-date=September 23, 2015}}

The album was produced over the course of about four or five months and its lead single "Chum" was created in the first three days.{{cite magazine|last=Wete|first=Brad|date=June 5, 2013|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/code/1565746/christian-rich-producer-talks-earl-sweatshirt-work-house-ep-and-chris?page=0%2C0|title=Christian Rich Producer Talks Earl Sweatshirt Work, House EP, and Chris Brown's 'X'|magazine=Billboard|access-date=November 5, 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140704082517/http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/code/1565746/christian-rich-producer-talks-earl-sweatshirt-work-house-ep-and-chris?page=0%2C0|archive-date=July 4, 2014}} The song was produced by Christian Rich using Logic Pro{{cite web|url=http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/videos/id.14108/title.christian-rich-off-the-record-earl-sweatshirt-s-chum-|title=Christian Rich – Off The Record: Earl Sweatshirt's "Chum"|work=HipHopDX|date=August 28, 2013|access-date=November 5, 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109023807/http://www.hiphopdx.com/index/videos/id.14108/title.christian-rich-off-the-record-earl-sweatshirt-s-chum-|archive-date=November 9, 2013}} and the beat was the quickest and rawest made on the album.{{cite web|url=http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2013/08/inside-the-making-of-our-favorite-songs-from-earl-sweatshirts-doris/5/|title=Inside The Making of Our Favorite Songs From Earl Sweatshirt's 'Doris': "Chum"|work=XXL|date=August 19, 2013|access-date=November 5, 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131109022544/http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2013/08/inside-the-making-of-our-favorite-songs-from-earl-sweatshirts-doris/5/|archive-date=November 9, 2013}} The track was recorded by Julian Prindle at Paramount Recording Studios in Hollywood, California. Jaycen Joshua mixed the track at Larrabee Sound Studios in North Hollywood, and it was later mastered by Dave Kutch at the Mastering Palace in New York City.{{cite AV media notes |title=Doris |others=Earl Sweatshirt |year=2013 |publisher=Columbia Records |id=88883 75170 2}} Taiwo Hassan wrote the chorus for "Chum", and Sweatshirt wrote the verses.{{cite web|last=Alexis|first=Nadeska|date=July 31, 2013|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1711545/earl-sweatshirt-doris-lyrical-blackout-sessions.jhtml|title=Earl Sweatshirt 'Blacked Out'...

Christian Rich originally considered Radiohead singer Thom Yorke to perform the hook to make it sound bigger, but Sweatshirt refused, as he didn't want to go for that sound.

"Sunday" features fellow Odd Future member Frank Ocean. The song is seen as unusual for Ocean who is renowned for his singing rather than his rapping, having previously only shown off his rapping on the leaked track "Blue Whale" and "Oldie". The duo had previously collaborated on Ocean's "Super Rich Kids" from Ocean's 2012 album Channel Orange. The song raised minor controversy regarding Ocean's verse, which included lyrics regarding Ocean's reported brawl with Chris Brown.{{cite web|url=https://www.spin.com/2013/08/earl-sweatshirt-frank-ocean-chris-brown-sunday-doris-stream/|title=Did Frank Ocean Shade Chris Brown on Earl Sweatshirt's 'Sunday'?|date=August 14, 2013|website=Spin|access-date=October 14, 2018}} The song went through many different incarnations and mixes before being completed; the original version was lost after Earl's laptop's hard drive crashed. After reassembling it, he decided that he hated the mixes. "Then it was, 'We can't mix this song'{{-"}}, he told NME, {{"-}}'...you're going to have to redo it or do a song'. I threw a tantrum. I did a new song".{{cite web|url=http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=30391|title=Sunday by Earl Sweatshirt Songfacts|publisher=Songfacts|access-date=September 19, 2015|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924141023/http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=30391|archive-date=September 24, 2015}}

"Hive" was written, recorded, produced and engineered in the living room of Syd tha Kyd and Matt Martians' old home in Marina del Rey, California; the music was programmed in Reason.{{cite web|author1=Naomi Zeichner|author2=Duncan Cooper|date=May 7, 2013|url=http://www.thefader.com/2013/05/07/footnotes-earl-sweatshirt/|title=Footnotes: Earl Sweatshirt|work=The Fader|access-date=August 21, 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130922175806/http://www.thefader.com/2013/05/07/footnotes-earl-sweatshirt/|archive-date=September 22, 2013}} The song took three hours to record, with Sweatshirt's verse recorded in only one take before Casey Veggies and Vince Staples did theirs. Martians said that Sweatshirt "works quickly in general: he gets his initial ideas out quickly, then goes back and makes adjustments. That's a mature thing about his music-making. He knows what he wants to do and what kinds of feelings he wants to convey". The track was later mixed by Jaycen Joshua at Larrabee Sound Studios in North Hollywood, California, and mastered by Dave Kutch at the Mastering Palace in New York City.

Doris was met with widespread critical acclaim. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 82, based on 32 reviews. Aggregator AnyDecentMusic? gave it 8.0 out of 10, based on their assessment of the critical consensus.

William Gruger of Billboard said, "What follows is Doris, a slow (rarely rising above 70 bpm), introspective album where Earl Sweatshirt combats pressures when returning to a life of stardom after time spent at a Samoa-based boarding school for troubled youths".{{cite magazine |last=Gruger |first=William |url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/review/5657818/earl-sweatshirt-doris-track-by-track-review |title=Earl Sweatshirt, 'Doris': Track-By-Track Review |magazine=Billboard |date=August 20, 2013 |access-date=August 23, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130823062134/http://www.billboard.com/articles/review/5657818/earl-sweatshirt-doris-track-by-track-review |archive-date=August 23, 2013 }} Ben Beaumont-Thomas of The Guardian said, "This is knockabout punchline rap made into high art, a psychedelic visionquest to the taqueria on a skateboard". Randall Roberts of Los Angeles Times said, "Doris features instrumental interludes, expanded mid-song diversions and enough surprise to warrant repeated—obsessive—evaluation". Jesse Fairfax of HipHopDX said, "Where he has yet to master the art of making complete songs ("Uncle Al" clocks in under a minute long) and his diction tends to lacks clarity, Earl paints pictures in a manner more poetic than just about all within his peer group".{{cite web |last=Fairfax |first=Jesse |url=http://hiphopdx.com/reviews/id.2128/title.earl-sweatshirt-doris |title=Earl Sweatshirt – Doris |work=HipHopDX |date=August 19, 2013 |access-date=December 15, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161220155438/http://hiphopdx.com/reviews/id.2128/title.earl-sweatshirt-doris |archive-date=December 20, 2016 }} Kevin Ritchie of Now said, "Despite all the gifted-beyond-his-years hype, that over-arching concerns still feel inextricably teenaged, albeit precociously so".{{cite web |last=Ritchie |first=Kevin |url=http://www.nowtoronto.com/music/story.cfm?content=194049 |title=Earl Sweatshirt |work=Now |date=August 22, 2013 |access-date=August 23, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130825034017/http://www.nowtoronto.com/music/story.cfm?content=194049 |archive-date=August 25, 2013 }}

Simon Vozick-Levinson of Rolling Stone said, "His rhyme schemes are as complex as ever, and these resolutely unpop beats – sticky-icky sample collages from producers including Pharrell, RZA and himself – are an ideal canvas. But his subject matter has undergone a drastic overhaul. Unlike some peers, Earl has figured out that shock value only goes so far". David Jeffries of AllMusic said, "Doris is unsettled, messy, and takes a bit to sort, but there are codes to crack and rich rewards to reap, so enter with an open mind and prepare to leave exhausted". Aaron Matthews of Exclaim! said, "Doris isn't the classic many anticipated, but it is a strong, uncompromised debut from a very talented young rapper. For now, that's enough".{{cite web |last=Matthews |first=Aaron |url=http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/HipHop/earl_sweatshirt-doris |title=Earl Sweatshirt: Doris |work=Exclaim! |date=August 19, 2013 |access-date=August 21, 2013 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130822084840/http://exclaim.ca/Reviews/HipHop/earl_sweatshirt-doris |archive-date=August 22, 2013 }} Michael Madden of Consequence said, "It's a work as notable for its technical achievements as its nuanced themes, and that's almost as impressive considering that so many artists lack in one or both of those fields".{{cite web |last=Madden |first=Michael |url=http://consequenceofsound.net/2013/08/album-review-earl-sweatshirt-doris/ |title=Album Review: Earl Sweatshirt – Doris |work=Consequence |date=August 19, 2013 |access-date=December 15, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161231102634/http://consequenceofsound.net/2013/08/album-review-earl-sweatshirt-doris/ |archive-date=December 31, 2016 }} Jonah Bromwich of NME said, "He doesn't want to be a powerhouse rap star. Doris may alienate people looking for him to be that. For everyone else, this is a powerful record".

Darryl G. Wright of PopMatters said, "Doris represents one of the most innovative and important hip-hop releases of the year. Not just because of the charm and intrigue of Earl's story but because of the immense and understated level of his talent for writing rhymes".{{cite web |last=Wright |first=Darryl G. |url=https://www.popmatters.com/review/174673-earl-sweatshirt-doris/ |title=Earl Sweatshirt: Doris |work=PopMatters |date=August 22, 2013 |access-date=December 15, 2016 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170101034604/http://www.popmatters.com/review/174673-earl-sweatshirt-doris/ |archive-date=January 1, 2017 }} Craig Jenkins of Pitchfork said, "As comebacks go, it's shockingly insular and unassuming. Even when he skirts the mainstream, he does so with cautious optimism". Jesse Cataldo of Slant Magazine said, "Earl may be one of the quieter voices on Doris, but his dense, evocative sensibility dominates the album both lyrically and musically".{{cite web |last=Cataldo |first=Jesse |url=https://www.slantmagazine.com/music/review/earl-sweatshirt-doris |title=Earl Sweatshirt: Doris |work=Slant Magazine |date=August 19, 2013 |access-date=August 21, 2013}} Dan Jackson of XXL said, "As one might expect from a 19-year-old, this is an album of extremes. It can be poignant and honest in one moment, then cagey and distant in the next". Julianne Escobedo Shepherd of Spin said, "The record is at its best when he simply shifts into verbal overdrive, spitting gnarled bullets on the phenomenal robber's fable "Centurion" or the weedy hallucinogen "Guild"{{-"}}. Evan Rytlewski of The A.V. Club said, "It often feels less like a finished work than a sketchbook, a jumble of beats and raps (about half of them from guests) with little in the way of hooks, choruses, or general songcraft to tie them together".
