The Dodos — Time To Die

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) September 15, 2009 1:53 pm
The most noticeable difference between Time To Die and The Dodos' acclaimed 2008 release, Visiter, is a reduced focus on drums. The percussion is still present on Time To Die, and it's still as erratic and as tribal as it was, but it has been noticeably pushed into the background. As a result, singer Meric Long has taken centre stage. With...

The Dodos — Visiter

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) March 25, 2008 8:41 pm
By the time Visiter finishes, you might wonder where The Dodos have been hiding all these years. This is a very busy album full of dense arrangements, which makes it hard to believe the San Francisco experimental indie folksters are a duo. The excellent interlocking banjo/guitar combination on opening track "Walking" recalls the best of Iron And...

Video Of The Day: The Dodos' "Black Night"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) March 25, 2011 4:57 pm
What's the weirdest fight you can think of? A woman in drag with a pencil-thin moustache against a guy who looks like Office Space's Milton Waddams? That's what's going on in The Dodos' video for "Black Night." Oh, and two really tall guys fighting each other. Overall, it's just generally really strange, almost as if you're watching some kind of...

Song Of The Day: The Dodos' "Don't Stop"

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) February 25, 2011 4:45 pm
Holy fingerpicking, Batman!! There's a crazy amount of it going on in The Dodos' "Don't Stop," which will be found on the San Francisco duo's upcoming fourth album, No Color. Meric Long's plucking the hell out of multiple guitars on the track, and drummer Logan Kroeber's not being any slack, either. The extensive percussion and drumming going on...

Bonnaroo 2010 Day 1: The XX Graduate To Big Leagues

in
By Mike Bax (CHARTattack) June 11, 2010 9:59 am
As part of my 15-hour pilgrimage to Bonnaroo 2010, I found myself driving through one of the worst thunderstorms I've ever seen just outside of Nashville. It was all too apparent how Nashville could have gotten so flooded just a few weeks ago, as visibility went to almost zero due to the heavy rain. Cars started putting their hazard lights on...

The Dodos appeared on the Late Show With David Letterman on Friday (Jan. 8) to play "Fables," the latest single from their Time To Die album. Letterman has a bit of fun with that title before the band launch into the track.

Dodos Churning Out Records

in
By Alyssa Noel (CHARTattack) October 7, 2009 3:58 pm
For The Dodos, it's all about quantity, not quality. I initially thought singer Meric Long was joking when he said this during a phone interview from his home in San Francisco, but after my chuckle was not reciprocated, I realized he was serious. "We're kind of shooting for quantity," he said. "Once you record a record, you...

Pop Montreal: Day Four

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) October 7, 2008 11:50 am
MONTREAL — Arguably the hottest ticket at this year's Pop Montreal festival was the sold-out Dodos concert at La Sala Rossa. The venue only holds about 220 spectators, yet at the start of the San Francisco duo's set, from a naked eye count it looked like considerably more people had packed themselves into the tiny club. The Dodos are already...
