UK Magazine gives 1st Review of D&O’s Debut Record!!!

“The debut EP from Americana duo David & Olivia, On The Sea, is a melodious love letter to beautiful song-writing. Written whilst touring around wineries on the West Coast of America, the overall feel of the record is one of relaxed melancholy; this is a collection of relatable tunes that may strike a deeper chord, yet still evokes a breezy and distinctly American tone.

D&O.Promo4The first track on the EP, Every Now n’ Then (I Could Use A Friend), begins with echoes of Olivia May’s gorgeous songbird voice, as David Rosales then begins the first verse in his completely contrasting, gravelly tone. This is a really effective juxtaposition that adds a completely unique quality to the duo’s sound. This track and the second track Finally Fine are feel-good numbers that could become the most popular from the EP, perhaps as summer radio anthems. The whole record in itself has a fresh, barely-produced quality to it that sounds un-touched and spontaneous, perfect for summer-listening (even if summer never really comes around).

Key To My Heart, the third track on the EP and the first single off the record, changes the atmosphere to a more melancholic edge. Although the lyrics are distinctly sentimental, Rosales’ voice adds more of an edge to their meaning, and the sound of his and May’s voices interacting loads the song with a kind of emotional honesty that is rare to hear in many contemporary love songs. This kind of vocal harmony will certainly please bereft Civil Wars fans (such as myself) who needed to satisfy their cravings, since The Civil Wars lived up to their name and split up. However, although they can be easily compared to such acts, David and Olivia have a unique sound in their own right. Songs such as The Weather Change or UnNamed Love Song may deal with similar subject matter, but this feels like the kind of harmonious partnership that will last. With euphoric choruses and acutely American drums and guitars, On The Sea, is a very promising musical love-in from an equally as promising duo.As the very last lyric on the EP ( on Love Ain’t Easy) claims ‘This ain’t over’, and I certainly hope it isn’t.” – Alice Gibson // We Are Unseen (UK)
