The Dodo's

The Dodos originally known as Dodo Bird are a 3 piece folk/indie band from San Francisco.

Imagine vampire weekend, jose gonzalez and the beatles mixing together and adding obscure instruments, this would get you close enough to the Dodos sound its epic, frantic and exciting.

They use big bassy beats with acoustic guitars and other apparatus to make a a fantastic mix of folk and dance indie.

Their first album beware of the maniacs was made in 2006 and generated a lot of attention from critics and new listeners alike across the pond. The sound of the this album is unlike anything else I have heard, when I listened I could do nothing else but take in what I was hearing.

They then followed up with their second album Visiter, which again had that signature sound but brought one of their most epic songs to date fool's, which is a fantastic piece of music.

They released their new album Time to die in August which has better production and just sounds complete as a band and an album.

As always Ive left a bit of ear candy for you.
