I quite liked the Do’s debut a couple of years ago when it turned up on a Dusted bulletin board, and liked its “unclassifiable mix of confessional songwriting, sprightly folk pop, and world rhythm-ed hip-hop” no less when it got an American release on Six Degrees records. I reviewed it for Venus last week. Here’s the review.
Just for comparison, here’s Brandon Bussolini’s far more negative review of the same album in Dusted today.

About Me
The government wants you to know...
Many of the albums and dvds that I review are sent to me, free, by record labels and bands. Also many more that I do not review. Sometimes I get into shows free, too.

There's a dusted bulletin board?
Yes, but just for writers. Most of the sites have one...I know PopMatters did and I think Stylus as well.
