Dave Bidini Loves Us!

October 26, 2011

“Parking one street south on Cumberland Avenue, I rumbled through the underground listening to the Donefors’ second record, Award Winning Album, which proved to be a good, sneaky listen. The style of the band suggests high-rent influences – Joni’s early jazz pulls and bits of Prefab Sprout and the Mojave Three – but the core [...]

The DoneFors Award Winning Album (FACTOR) It takes cheek to title a CD Award Winning Album, but in the case of The DoneFors, it may be warranted. The Toronto quartet calls their sound Canadiana Vanguard; what they produce is an engaging blend of jazz and rock. In large part, The DoneFors produce pleasing, original music, [...]

Award Winning Album The DoneFors (Independent) 3 stars This cheekily-titled disc plays like two dissimilar EPs stuck together. The first half has a jazz feeling, in its rhythms, chord choices and metrical manoeuvres (Bob and Stan takes off in a jumpy 10/8). Cherry Season feels like a new cool jazz standard waiting for solos to [...]

Award Winning Album (independent) By Nereida Fernandes “Intrepid and refreshing, the DoneFors’ debut lived up to their self-pegged style of “Canadiana Vanguard.” Most importantly, it boasted some really good music. Their second release, on the other hand, finds the quartet fixated on their branding, as if their mandate was being vanguard for the sake of. [...]
