The Dodos are a two-piece band out of San Fransisco, California, who create beautiful, hypnotizing songs and beats. The hooks are catchy and memorable, and the sound is different and unique. The band tends to clash styles of bands we’ve heard before and turn them into something fresh- you can’t help but think of Band of Horses, Panda Bear, and Animal Collective when you are listening to the Dodos. Still, I’m not a huge fan of Panda Bear or Animal Collective, but still find myself transfixed by this new band’s songs. Their cd, Visiter, has received tons of praise, notably from Pitchfork, and is available now.
You can check out a few songs (my personal favorite is “Fools”) and tour dates on their MYSPACE.
Then comment on what you think of this new “buzz band!”

just saw the dodo’s play in toronto… merric long is a terrific guitar player, but the band was not very engaging and pretty much played their cd and left.
