Shake Shook Shaken
Shake Shook Shaken is the third studio album by French-Finnish musical duo the Dø, consisting of vocalist Olivia Merilahti and multi-instrumentalist Dan Levy. Produced by Levy, it was released in France on 29 September 2014 by Get Down!, distributed and licensed by Cinq 7 and Wagram Music, and published by the duo's Siamese Squids label. Merilahti began writing and recording demos in Pro Tools while the group was on tour for their previous album, Both Ways Open Jaws (2011). The album marks a significant change in sound for the duo, largely eschewing acoustic instrumentation in favour of electronics, synthesizers, and audio plug-ins. They purchased a property in Normandy with a water tower and converted it into a recording studio. Once production was complete, they travelled to New York where Levy worked with Fab Dupont to mix the album. Shake Shook Shaken received generally positive reviews from music critics and won the 2015 Victoires de la Musique Award for Best Rock Album. It peaked at number 7 on SNEP Top Albums and remained on the chart for 50 consecutive weeks, selling 40,000 copies in France by June 2015. Background The writing process for the album began while the Dø was touring
