With a title like Time To Die, you might think the Dodos’ third disc is their ‘maturealbum,’ a deadly serious undertaking punctuated with string sections and synths. Nice trykid, but you’ve got it all wrong. While indie rock’s go-to guy, Phil Ek (Built to Spill,Fleet Foxes, The Shins), hopped behind the boards this time, the Dodos’ wildlypercussivestyle is still centered around two key elements: the punchy percussion ofLogan Kroeber and the Fahey-infused finger-picking of frontman Meric Long. Oh sure,you’ll hear a horn blast here and there, but it’s never enough to distract you from thegroup’s riffs and rolls. MORE INFO HERE
