██ AMG Review : ██
██ The Do -- the Parisian duo of Dan Levy and Olivia B. ██
██ Merilahtin, whose moniker (pronounced like "dough") ██
██ derives from both member's initials, but also refers to ██
██ the first (and last) note of the solfege scale, as well ██
██ as the Norwegian and Danish words for "die" -- stake out ██
██ their unconventional indie folk-hip-pop territory with A ██
██ Mouthful. It's all over the map, both musically and ██
██ emotionally, and can be a lot to take in ("A Handful" ██
██ might have been more appropriate), but they manage to ██
██ strike a quirky yet affecting through-line that mediates ██
██ between their frisky playfulness, fiery brashness, and ██
██ tenderly sentimental sincerity, and helps to integrate ██
██ the album's stylistic hodge-podge so that its eclecticism ██
██ feels improbably natural rather than forced or gimmicky ██
██ (or simply schizophrenic.) To be sure, the album's ██
██ success rests largely on the duo's high-caliber ██
██ musicianship -- in particular, multi-instrumentalist ██
██ Levy's dextrous, sophisticated arrangements (which ██
██ reflect, among other things, both his jazz influences and ██
██ the pair's past collaborations on a handful of film ██
██ soundtracks), and Merilahtin's distinctive, versatile ██
██ singing voice -- which allows them to tackle an ██
██ idiosyncratic assortment of genres with uncanny ease and ██
██ coherence. ██
██ ██
██ For the bulk of its running time -- roughly two-thirds of ██
██ the tracks, give or take -- A Mouthful doesn't stray ██
██ terribly far from relatively familiar, primarily ██
██ guitar-centric folk/pop/rock fare, with a particular ██
██ focus on breezy balladry (including the autumnal "Song ██
██ For Lovers" and the sublime, elegantly bluesy "At Last") ██
██ and a few tougher-edged roots-pop nuggets ("On My ██
██ Shoulders", "The Bridge Is Broken"). Often, especially on ██
██ the more aggressive cuts toward the album's end, this ██
██ material recalls the artier side of '90s alternative and ██
██ indie rock -- a comparison brought home by Merilahtin's ██
██ passing vocal resemblance to prettily gritty singers like ██
██ PJ Harvey, Liz Phair, and Nina Persson (specifically her ██
██ work with A Camp). Even on these comparatively pedestrian ██
██ offerings, the Do offer far more compositional and ██
██ instrumental nuance than your typical songwriterly ██
██ outfit. Elsewhere, they hop through genres with gleeful ██
██ abandon, calling to mind the infectious precocity of ██
██ early Nellie McKay, the capriciousness of Beck, and ██
██ perhaps even Bjork's limitless ingenuity. Not that ██
██ anything here feels remotely like a derivative genre ██
██ exercise. "Stay (Just A Little Bit More)" is a cute bit ██
██ of retro-pop whimsy polka-dotted with ukulele, whistling, ██
██ strings, and carnivalesque organ; "Queen Dot Kong" is a ██
██ shockingly credible but utterly demented stab at hip-hop ██
██ with a swaggering horn section, all manner of cartoonish ██
██ musical left turns, and its own expansively grooving ██
██ instrumental-fusion coda. And the album's hidden gem is ██
██ "Unissassi Laulelet", an all-too-brief curiosity that ██
██ blends bewitchingly harmonized a cappella vocals (sung in ██
██ Finnish) with polyrhythmic, quasi-ethnic "tribal" ██
██ percussion to truly enchanting effect. Then there's the ██
██ downright off-the-wall opener, "Playground Hustle", a ██
██ sort of nursery rhyme-war chant by an army of ██
██ disgruntled, gender-norm-disrupting youngsters, set to a ██
██ spasmodically funky found-sound beat, which sounds like ██
██ the Go! Team skirmishing with Le Tigre in a schoolyard ██
██ scrap-heap with Matmos (circa The Civil War) providing ██
██ the arsenal. Or something. Anyway, it doesn't really ██
██ sound like anything else out there, or for that matter ██
██ like anything else on this album -- which makes it a ██
██ pretty appropriate calling card. The Do's debut may be a ██
██ mouthful, but it's deliciously sweet, tangy, and zestful, ██
██ and definitely well worth biting into. ██
