The Dø: Slippery Slope

The Dø are one of those bands that sound deceptively simple until you’re a few listens deep and suddenly everything clicks into place. Krystal and Jotta build these tight electronic and acoustic arrangements that sit somewhere between pop and experimental without quite committing to either. There’s something disarming about how unadorned it all is—a voice, a drum machine, maybe a synth—and yet it sounds more considered than most pop music out there. I fell into their music the way you fall into a good habit, not thinking about it until you realize you’ve been listening to the same album on repeat for two weeks.
