And sure enough, as Despair, Hangover & Ecstasy – a third to come from Olivia Merilahti and Dan Levy’s forthcoming Shake Shook Shaken full-length, following on from Keep Your Lips Sealed and Miracles (Back In Time) – materialises, they neither “disappoint [nor] let down.” Because, as its title might suggest, this latest synth-pop pièce de résistance is mood-swinging, painfully self-conscious incertitude set to song; an emotionally confounded, and musically dumbfounding tour de force. “It’s our fault, when it all/ Breaks into everyone’s lives, but are we really to blame?” Merilahti muses, before an intoxicating chorus that recalls both Metronomy (for the squeaky-clean synthesisers) and Ratatat (the [hi- / sci-]fi guitars) in equal measure, as The Dø themselves measure their impact upon the supposed “people around [them whom they] disappoint and let down.” Eminently aware of their footprint – whether that be carbon or psychological – therefore, Olivia continues: “We’re breakin’ promises we thought we could keep/ We trigger avalanches unknowingly, oh/ We’re not so different from convicts on the run/ Freedom could kill us, but we’d rather go on.” And we too should relish this resolute determination, because with every intention to “go far,” so long as they continue to contrive such provocative contemporary pop music as Despair, Hangover & Ecstasy, who the Hell are we to call into question their ostensibly “selfish”, if more selflessly unrelenting creativity? Shake Shook Shaken is due out on January 26th, via Siamese Squids, while The Dø play London’s Village Underground on November 3rd.
