"A Mouthful" is the debut album by French indie rock band The Dø, released on 14 January 2008. Two singles were released from it, “On My Shoulders” (2007) and “At Last!” (2008) [ [http://www.chartsinfrance.net/The-Do.html The Do ] ] .

Reception

"A Mouthful" topped the French charts in its first week. [ [http://www.mcm.net/musique/ficheartiste/12621/ THE DO - Biographie, albums, clips, cd sur MCM.net ] ]
Pitchfork Media gave the album a good rating of 7.5 out of 10, noting " [A Mouthful] tries to balance the mature and the immature" and that " [Olivia B. Merilahti and Dan Levy] aren't shy about toying with musical categories (...) which compensates for the less-than-advisable inclusions, and the record is as ambitious and fun as any coming-out party in recent memory", but criticizing the lack of a better quality control. [ [http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/record_review/50686-a-mouthful A Mouthful | Pitchfork ] ] Drowned in Sound were more positive and gave it a rating of 9 out of 10, saying the band is like "a female Eminem backed with a brass band" or "PJ Harvey on the moon", stating "the Dø’s success (...) is probably the fact that Dan Levy is a (not so) secret jazzer; there’s a musical dexterity and ability running through A Mouthful which makes them stand out from the crowd. (...) What this means is that every one of the 15 songs here is interesting in one way or another; compositionally, texturally, rhythmically, emotionally, or any one of a myriad of other ways" and ending the review by saying it's resolutely a pop album and that it is awesome. [ [http://www.drownedinsound.com/release/view/13170 Drowned in Sound - Reviews - Albums - The Dø - A Mouthful ] ] French magazine Les Inrockuptibles gave a similarly positive review, calling them a "cool and promising band". ["Les Inrockuptibles", February 2008.]
