About Scoobert Doobert

Scoobert Doobert (Luke Francis Walton), googly eyes stuck across his face, one hand raised toward the camera.

Scoobert Doobert is the solo recording project of Luke Francis Walton — a philosopher and multi-instrumentalist who writes, plays, and records lo-fi, indie, and bedroom pop in San Diego, California.

The boot screen says it best: a pizza shop off the coast of San Diego — it is actually a solo music project by a philosopher. That second sentence is the literal truth. The pizza shop is a bit. The songs are not.

The music

Scoobert Doobert has been quietly prolific — a long run of self-recorded songs, EPs, and full albums made the DIY way, plus a vinyl release through New Cosmos Records. The songs tend to be warm and a little anxious at the same time: small, hand-built bedroom-pop about modern life, getting through the day, and being a person. Press along the way has come from The New LoFi, Vents Magazine, Where the Music Meets, San Diego’s 91X, and others.

The best way in is simply to listen: streaming or the full catalog on Bandcamp. The whole index of everything — every profile, release, video, and interview — lives on the link archive.

Love Music More

Alongside his own records, Luke runs Love Music More — a podcast and Substack about exactly what it says: loving music more, and championing the people who make it.

The philosophy of the pizza

This website is the goblin-mode archive of all of it. It opens as a deliberately ugly 1996 “electronic pizza storefront” and, if you let it, falls backward through the web eras and drops you into a low-poly world off the coast of San Diego — a long-overdue delivery on a promise the early web made and never quite kept. The retro costume is a joke. Underneath, this is a real musician’s home on the internet, and every link here goes somewhere real.
