The Dodos - Visiter - mp3 review
April 15th, 2008 r8e8rcom
I wish I had more to say about these tracks or some interesting story to go with them, cuz I really like this record. But sadly my life has been rather boring lately and I haven’t had too much time to find out more about the band. Anyway, I like it and I thought you might as well.
Visiter, by San Francisco band The Dodos, is their second full length and first for Frenchkiss. Originally formed in 2006 under the moniker Dodobird as a one man acoustic act, Meric Long would gig around SF playing folky guitar with a combination of loops and ambient keyboards. Having already studied West African Ewe drumming, Meric got turned onto country blues fingerpicking and sought to create a band where the drumming could be a center role and help bring out the syncopated rhythms coming out of the acoustic guitar. Through a chance introduction by a roommate, Meric met Santa Cruz transplant Logan Kroeber, who had also been experimenting with drumming, but in the area of progressive metal.
