Both Ways Open Jaws will strike you as both new sounding and classic, as both fresh and rooted in tradition.
The true strength of the Dø’s uniquely blended sound is its sense of adventure and good old fashioned fun.
The Dø's sophomore album ... keeps up the genre-hopscotching whimsicality of the debut while also urging us to approach music more innocently.
A little middle of the road, pleasant I guess - I'll give it the benefit of the doubt before repeat listens, gets a qualifying 66% rating for now.
"Smash Them All (Night Visitors)" is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard... What I shame I didn't feel like that during the rest of the album:/
