The Dø

They can hold a groove when they want to, the lead singer and the band miss each other alot but when they click it's dynamite. i hear some stonesish funk in there on several occasions.

Excellent. I'm waiting for an import copy to arrive. Dispatched from amazon.fr on Monday. I know quite a few people freaking on this.

One track sounds like a female Eminem backed by a brass band. Singer's otherwise generally a bit Cardigans, almost. I'm hearing Lisa Left-Eye Lopez, Iko Iko, Mouldy Peaches, PJ Harvey, loads of stuff.

god i hear feist, joanna, nellie mckay, lisa bonet and shit

Really nice, natural drum tones.

They're proper jazzers, aren't they? Or the dude is, by training, I think.

At Last kinda reminds me of Os Mutantes being very, very chilled out.

i forgot bjork. lauryn hill? curious.

lead singer rides the song 'Tammi' like a chariot of wind. On the edge of ecstatic surely, can't tell if they cross the line.

i liked the rap ok, that track is goofy fun.

the cardigans first records are back again, and i'm more than ok with it.

This is fucking great.

Bump. Please kids, give this a listen.

Also is there any chance of a mod sticking the album title ("A Mouthful") in the thread title so this thread can be searched?

I need to check this out. By now, they've become pretty big in France

Alright, I like the music on this but can't stand the voice

My girlfriend's not keen on the voice. I love it. One of those things, I guess.

I like the woman's voice the same way I like tongueing the gap left by a newly missing tooth.

Haha, yeah, that's about it!

Or pulling bits of hard skin off your heel, or biting your nails down too far so they hurt.

Their new(ish) album, which I guess is their third but the first one I've heard, is really good. I gather it is more synthpop than previous records. They were my one big surprise discovery at Bonnaroo, wandered past as they were playing a post-midnight set -- they were great.

Anyway, here's a few tracks. "Trustful Hands" has been on constant repeat for me for the past 5 days.

All three Dø albums are great, but yeah, this one's their most synthy.
