Or to be more precise the Dø (pronounced uncooked bread) but that ø just plays havoc in webland so I’ll avoid it for the purpose of this discussion. The Do are eminently more intriguing (and better looking) than the majority of people making music today but stand perilously distant from wholesale acclaim. Perhaps you could put it down to their sometimes off beat approach but then perfect delicates like ‘Stay (Just A Little Bit More)’ are just waiting for a million hearts to adopt it. Olivia B. Merilahti’s lucid vocals could hardly be more perfectly realised and the unplugged nature of the music only extenuates their allure. The Do’s ‘A Mouthful’ came out last year and should be in the upper decks of your titantic hoard of CDs. KD

nice vocals, reminds me of Bjork at her most alt-poppiest.
Have been listening to these guys since the French friend put me onto them- great sound and such a range of styles on the album! Unissasi Laulelet which Olivia sings in Finnish is still one of my favs…although there are so many great ones on there. Only downside of Stay is that it is now being used for the O2 ad!
