i'm not quite sure how their album "A Mouthful" made it into my itunes but this is some pretty good and original stuff.

The first note on the standard musical scale is "do" which is the last note also, representing what's new and what's old, giving the musicians and artist the latitude & longitude to re-invigorate any musical genre, from blues, rhythm & blues, jazz, bebop, doowop & hip-hop, not to mention rock & roll, and eitherway to sing or play you've got to do it with your heart & soul.
Enter the band with the note-scale name and you add a new picture to the frame, only it's double entendre; for the "do" is the "do" who are doing a double take by rolling the rock uncovering the hole left in rock & roll after disco & pop skyrocketed to the top eclipsing all the other musical genre's except for hip-hop. Pop then jettisoned disco like a booster and flapped it's wings like a rooster, and crowed that it knowed all of the music and had taken the best and left the rest. Well the rest came, to put the picture back in the frame, and keep it simple like a dimple, on a teenager'sface, and are now filling the hole by popular demand spanning the space between the rock and the roll, with wholesomeness & simplicity that excite like electricity. dan & olivia are the "do" and are two of the freshest faces in view, and by being in between their influences span the scene, cause both the letter "n" and the sign "&" signify no end from old to new, and that's what the "do" love to do.
mostly because of the fact that their style is kind of all over the place, I have no idea what artist this could be compared to.

A friend told me about them just today. I was surprised because he's pretty much only into grindcore and other brutal stuff usually. I'll have to check them out.

apparently they/she made music for some movies before, but I don't think I've seen them
anyway, their song On My Shoulders (which is very nice indeed) is in a commercial here, and the album is doing pretty good according to amazon, so I guess they're going to be the next big thing

i'm really loving this album at the moment.
me too but some of the singer's vocal mannerisms annoy me from time to time. i prefer their Bjork/M.I.A. type of songs. the opener and the finnish song are my favorites right now.

for those who don't know yet, this album is fucking good! when i first downloaded it, it lacked the 4 last songs - i got them last week and it changed my interpretation of their musical palette a great deal. i wish they'd open for Radiohead in Montreal (they do for a date or two in Europe).
