Awhile back I posted a few tracks I’d heard from the dynamic Californian duo who calls themselves The Dodos. Finally I’ve come around to getting their entire album and I must say that it is brilliant. From start to end there exists a certain coherency and consistency that is not oft found in a full length album in today’s modern single song download driven industry. Granted some songs are more amazing than others, but I challenge you to find a single track on Visiter (amazon) (itunes) that isn’t absolutely worth having in your music collection.
mp3 : The Dodos - Walking
mp3 : The Dodos - God?
The above two tracks serve as the opening and closing tracks of the album and I feel they do a good job of showcasing the breadth of talent these two boys from California have. To be honest I haven’t been this thrilled about a guitar player percussionist duo since Meg and Jack first made that pairing seem as simple as breathing. Clocking in at just under one full hour this album contains some of the creative songs I’ve heard this year; some tracks will leave you contemplating life while others will simply leave you smiling, and bouncing your head while your fingers reach inexplicably for the repeat button.
