When last we heard from Janine Stoll, the Toronto-based songstress was mired in the carnal confusion that was her stark and sensual 2005 debut, This Is Where We Bury It. Inclusive to a fault, both personally and creatively, she invited a host of like-minded friends to bring her personal songs to life, working through her tales of tears, fears, fidelity and all manner of heartbreak and desire. But for Stoll, then by and large a solitary writer, what started out as a gathering of sonic session support among colleagues soon turned into a more unified joint, one whose collective instincts and heart beat as one.
Thus, the Donefors were born - newfound proud purveyors of "Canadiana vanguard."
"It just kind of came together naturally," says Stoll of her new band over the phone from her Toronto digs, gearing up for a brief mini-tour of Southern Ontario.
The quartet is now "officially" rounded out by Paul MacDougall (guitar) and Liam Smith (bass), both of whom are members of Afro-funk wunderkinds Mr. Something Something, and drummer Brian Lahaie of Superstack.
"Over a short time, everyone's contribution was equal, and completely invested in the project. And it just felt like it wasn't my project alone anymore," adds Stoll.
Recorded live off the floor in Lahaie's basement studio over "a marathon weekend" three days last April, The Donefor's debut, How to Have Sex With Canadians (a title, it turns out, Stoll randomly plucked in part from a National Geographic article, which "just kind of stuck"), is alternately buoyant and brooding, a shapeshifting set of sunkissed rhythms stoked by emotionally wind-chilled wanderlust.
"I wanted to do something that couldn't necessarily be classified, something outside the box," says Stoll of the group's intuitive flickering fusion of country, reggae, folk, jazz, pop and French chansons. "But I think the next record we work on will be even closer to the sound and aesthetic we are hoping to solidify."

PRESS - The DoneFors Drug you with Beautiful Sound
By Shain Shapiro, VIEW Magazine, Hamilton
Let's face it, there are too many bands out there. The sheer amount of music available, whether it is online, live or through recordings, has grown exponentially in the past decade, as now a simple ProTools set-up can recreate studio quality sound in a bedroom, garage or rehearsal space.
Yet, quantity does not often marry with quality. It's time to describe some new music, a lovely band from Toronto called The DoneFors. Formed by full-time members of Janine Stoll's supporting cast, The DoneFors are members of the now defunct Erin Smith band, the brilliant Mr. Something Something and Superstack. Led by Stoll, the quartet began writing in 2006, while on tour supporting her then new album, This Is Where We Bury It. The resulting music struck at something new, a sound untouched by any of the members' previous projects. Therefore, armed with an in-house studio and some downtime from the aforementioned, The DoneFors sat down and recorded an album, one they have titled How to have sex with Canadians.
So the band, in essence, is not new; but this music is. And given all that's out there vying for time and attention, this album is one for the top of the pile, much like the bands the members perform in alongside. "At first we formed as my backing band in 2006 after the release of my solo CD," affirms Stoll. "But quickly, those songs quickly morphed and new songs were added to the catalogue until it became increasingly apparent that all of us were making equal creative contributions. So by 2007 we decided to surgically sew ourselves together, change our collective status to common-law, take family vacations, and have musical make out parties. We're in love now. And love hurts. But How to have sex with Canadians is the best baby that any of us have ever birthed. So the pain is well worth it."
While the quartet only had a few weeks to record, the result is quirky, boisterous pop, filtered through global grooves and Stoll's trademark pipes. Taking from Americana music, power-pop and '80s funk, How to have sex with Canadians is as fun as its title, offering just as much advice musically as its moniker promises.
"We took a relaxed approach to the making of the record," explains Stoll. "The big session was the weekend in April '08 where we hunkered down, ate lots of cookies and hummus, drank coffee and champagne while getting takes. It was rewarding to do three or four takes, have a listen, choose our favourite takes and then except it as that moment in time. Nothing you can do about it now. In terms of challenges, the main hitch we faced was having to take small hiatuses from the mixing phase due to the touring and traveling schedules of each band member. But the breaks in the process proved beneficial in the end analysis as they allowed us to return to the album with fresh ears and new insights."
As the title suggests, there are moments of musical salacity afoot here. Instead of plying the surface of what makes us and our relationships tick, Stoll and company speak starkly, honestly and at times, crudely, all in an effort to tell the truth, but still have fun with it. "There are certainly prevailing glimpses into different human relationships on this record and perhaps recurring themes of the darker and possibly deviant elements of the human experience," adds Stoll. "The different moods of each song were a crafted choice in an attempt to create an album that was both cohesive and complete. All of the songs were rehearsed and arranged before it came to recording them, but again, that was based on how we were approaching the capture of the live DoneFors experience."
"Plus, How to have sex with Canadians differs from previous recordings we've done together in that the entire album was produced from the inside out. From the writing right down to the mixing it was a team effort including three collaborative co-writes, 'The Narrator', 'Mouth Full of Marbles', and 'Lemons From Argentina'. They seem to be the tunes we're most drawn to because they represent the direction that we're headed in, rather than where we've come from. Being that we're still a young band, we'll continue to nurture a sound that distinctly includes our various paths, pasts and influences."
Together, the personnel in The DoneFors have recorded and released some of the best alternative and roots music of the past half-decade. Most of that was done independently, without any label or financial support. The campaign surrounding How to have sex with Canadians pipes along the same territory, as it's being released independently and supported by a tour the band booked in-house. The result is four musicians who, while directed, do not take themselves too seriously, a trait benefits their frolicking pop.
"With us, you will see three guys sporting beards, playing instruments and sometimes singing alongside a girl with no beard, potentially wearing a skirt-based outfit singing and playing guitar. There will be jokes told, and people in the audience will laugh, and relate in a way that makes them feel warm and fuzzy and happy to have made it out to the show."
Plus, Stoll assures the secret to how the album was titled will be released at a show, as she remains tight-lipped about how the band decided how their debut's title. "Canadians are a hardy, yet tender people," retorts Stoll. "Show them love and it shall be returned, tenfold. But you have to buy the record to really understand. Good title though, eh?"
After the tour, the band will return to other projects temporarily, whilst simultaneously throwing ideas around in order to schedule some future recording time. Stoll, as usual, is relaxed about the band's future, chance of success and direction. "We plan to take a nap, write more songs, make some music videos, flirt with record execs, perfect our baking skills, plan future tours, and spend some time day dreaming about the next great album we make together, tentatively being called "How to gag and spank an Albertan in a polite and pleasurable way". So here you have it, a new band well worth wasting hours with. The DoneFors may be exactly what Canada needs; a pop band with a heart, a conscience and a sense of humour. Go learn how to have sex with every Canadian you like at one of their CD release shows. Hamilton is this week.

PRESS - What's That noise?
By Michelle da Silva, Gloss Magazine, Toronto
The DoneFors is a Toronto-based outfit composed of The Ladybird Sideshow's Janine Stoll on vocals, Mr. Something Something's Paul MacDougall on electric guitar, Liam Smith on bass, and Superstack's Brian Lahaie on drums. The foursome came together in 2006 to form their "new favourite band." Now, with their first full-length, How To Have Sex With Canadians, about to debut (February 12), the DoneFors are taking their one-of-a-kind self-described "Canadiana Vanguard" on the road.
The band's sound is difficult to capture as they aim to push boundaries and bend genres – their only consistency being rooted in their instruments' organic sound. "In a Cornfield" is a quick-paced folksy single with its roots in bluegrass, while French tune "Septembre en France" showcases Stoll's versatile vocals in a decidedly drowsy, chanteuse-style light. "Mouth Full of Marbles" sounds like how Fiona Apple would sound if she sang jazz, and "In My Blood" is a dark, free-spirited narrative.
The DoneFors will likely bring unpredictability and improvisation to their emotionally-rich performances – their musicianship can handle it. Their unclassifiable album will be one the most anticipated of the new year, as will their tour. For a complete list of tour dates, check out the band's website at http://www.thedonefors.com/.

ODE TO INFOMMERCIALS
Dearest,
When last we spoke you were far away and I was here waiting for you. I stayed up nights watching bad TV, and those sexy commercials with the ladies and the telephones. I even bought a Magic Bullet Mini Blender and a ShamWow. I don't know why. I don't like blending food, and I certainly don't clean up after myself much anymore. Not since you left. The only thing I've really done of any significance was buy a new CD. This band called The DoneFors made a record called "How to have sex with Canadians". Funny, I know. I thought it would help me boost my mojo. Maybe it'd be a crash course in how to make a sexy digital movie Canadian styles that I could post on youtube. Maybe you'd stumble on it some day and you'd fall in love with me again. Then you'd come home and make everything better. Well, to be honest, I was only slightly disappointed that this new CD didn't really teach me much about anything sexy, but what it did do for me is immeasurable. I started brushing my teeth again, recently. Finally took the recycling out. Made plans to see my parents. I even picked up my guitar again. All these efforts were subtle, but the only thing I can accredit the change to was listening to this CD. I think that you'd really like it. It might not make you love me again, but at least you'd be happy about something. Even these beautiful sad songs seem a bit hopeful. Anyway, The DoneFors are going to be doing a CD Release Party in Toronto, and I think it would be good for me to get out. Think I'll go. Alone even. Maybe you'll wanna come after reading this. Please come. If you do, please meet me at The Supermarket in Kensington Market on Thursday, February 12th around 9:30pm. I'll be wearing clean clothes and trying my best to stay composed.
I miss you. Come home.
Love,
Stan

PRESS - Review: How to have sex with Canadians
By Steven Hurst, Glasswerk, UK
Canadian act 'The Done Fors' are an alternative mellow quartet of eclectic musicians and songwriters. The jazzy mellow feel to opening number 'The Narrator' gives a feel of an ethereal Dusty Springfield. A whimsical piece that pushes by on its on merits without so much evident in the way of direction. This picks up beat with 'In the Cornfield,' which is seems more urgent in its travel-esque tempo.
Vocal duties are shared around and even include a few guest voices on a few tracks. There is a very deliberate tonal shift not just in terms of song styles, but also vocal styles. Voices cooing one moment, can waver between on and off tone which lends this music of sounds an enigmatic quality.
For the most part the band manage to sustain the alternative styles they bring to the piece, but occasionally it can become tiresome and repetitive. Fans of last years 'Juno' soundtrack, provided mainly by Kimya Dawson (who has a repetitive style of her own) will favour this record. There is a breadth of talent that sufficiently endows the album with a slow grace.

PRESS - How to have sex with Canadians: Not (just) a Lonely Planet guidebook
By Dave Jaffer, Hour Magazine, Montreal
In what has to be the frontrunner for album title of the year, Toronto's The DoneFors have announced the release of How to have sex with Canadians. To celebrate the occasion, The DoneFors are playing a host of dates in February all around Ontario and Quebec (insofar as "one gig in Montreal, on Valentine's Day," equals "all around" Quebec).
Whether they plan to actively teach crowds how to have sex with Canadians remains to be seen.
Led by chanteuse Janine Stoll (whose next solo album, Melancholia, is dropping in 2009), and including members of Mr. Something Something and SuperstacK, The DoneFors are a four-piece whose style defies labelization. Uh, genrefication. Let's just say you can't stick it in a pigeonhole. A little bit of jazz, a little bit of country, and then some folk, some rock, some pop, and then even more, it's seems that The DoneFors bring that much-lauded Toronto diversity thing to their musical stylings.
And it's to be respected.
Don't believe us? You don't have to, because you can head over to thedonefors.com or myspace.com/donefors to hear for yourself. The DoneFors deal in unmistakably Canadian music that the band refers to as Canadiana Vanguard.
To see if The DoneFors are in your neck o' the woods on their upcoming spate of tour dates, check below. If they're not playing in your town, either drive to where they're playing or write them via their MySpace and tell them they should come and play wherever you're at.

PRESS - The Donefors: How To Have Sex With Canadians, (Independent) ***
By Kathleen Bell, See Magazine, Edmonton (01/29/09)
The DoneFors' debut album isn't some kind of creepy instruction manual - no Cana Sutra here, thankfully. It is, however, an eclectic mix of Canadiana sailing to many a musical port, from the bossa nova-flavoured "The Narrator" to the quirky modern folk of "The Last Thing You Do." "Red Fish" stands out as a slinky jazz-club number that makes a Fiona Apple-ish brooding descent into self-discovery as the slow rumble of Liam Smith's electric bass underscores Janine Stoll's wispy moan of "You're a homicidal maniac and I love you." While other tracks have similarly dark and twisted lyrics, some feel crisp, young, and innocent, like "In a Cornfield"'s tumbling "Kiss me deep until there are no kisses left." Bands always wish critics couldn't tag 'em but we generally do anyway. The DoneFors, however, have the distinction of being genuinely hard to classify. Sometimes folky, sometimes poppy, sometimes jazzy, Sex With Canadians is just merge-y experimental fun.

WEAK DECAYING AGE
As the first snows of winter began to drift in from the north, the children built a canoe of dried wood and dead leaves, eager to cross over the 49th and find themselves at home before the lakes and rivers froze over. While the snow swelled in a quiet cyclone around them, the predicament was clear – with the temperature dropping mercilessly quick, they would surely be stranded as a grizzly bear's snack if not a frozen block of flesh and bones. Unfazed, one of the children pulled a glass bottle from inside his wool coat, placed it on its side and spun it around. When the spinning slowed to a stop, the spout of the bottle pointed in the direction of the prettiest girl among them; so he turned to the girl and – while sweetly kissing her cheek – their feet started to warm and the snow beneath their boots began to melt. Please enjoy sex with Canadians responsibly.
Love,
The DoneFors

PAST THE BUCK
Happy Happy all you Sad Lonely People,
That makes two of us. It's been a few months, eh? Family good? Kids? Career? Good and you? There's a reason why you haven't seen us out on the town. No time to be frolicking in the summer heat and chasing the ice cream truck down the street. And no, none of us have perished in any freak hunting accidents or bear attacks. But amongst the four of us we have been doing some globe trotting through parts of europe and canada, also building houses up in northern ontario... oh yeah... and we've also been making an album to be reckoned with. Live off the floor beds. Flawed and beautiful. A track here, a track there. Here a tuck, there a tweak, everywhere a nudge bump. It shouldn't surprise you how awesome this album will be. Grizzled and unrelenting. We are honing in on exactly how we hear it. Please stay tuned for our teaser and don't forget to look both ways.
They're talking about you behind your back.
love,
The DoneFors
