The Do have no afraid about wearing their musical influences on their sleeve. Take a first look to "A Mouthful" and you’ll get a taste of the flavour of Blonde and Cocorosie. But the overriding influence that runs through out The Do’s debut album is Iceland’s alternative pop princess Bjork. They share Bjork’s off-the-wall originality and have taken a leaf out of the Icelandic diva’s music book, smashing down barriers between genres to forge their own unique 
sound. Dan Levy, The Do’s talented multi-instrumentalist, and singer Olivia B Merilahtin originally hooked up two years ago to work together on the soundtrack to a feature film. Their creative partnership blossomed from there and the duo went on to write the soundtracks for two other movies, François Rotger’s The Passenger and Christophe Ali’s Camping sauvage. They have also created stage music for a number of contemporary dance troupes.
“A Mouthful” is a delightful genre fusion album that is full of so many different twists, turns and crunches you'll never know what you are going to get here in this set. Just music that has the need to be heared and learned...how all music should be.
