Editorial Review

The Dodos are a psychedelic folk act from California. Comprised of Meric Long and Logan Kroeber, they've been creating their quirky, lo-fi music since 2005. Dodo Bird was a self-financed EP they released in 2005 and it raised enough eyebrows to get them out on the road and touring. A proper LP followed in 2006, Beware of the Maniacs, and band signed to Frenchkiss Records in 2007. With an actual record label and budget behind them, the pair were able to get out beyond California and do a spot of proper overseas touring.

Visiter was released earlier this year and saw the indie press falling over themselves to praise the album. The LP's title stems from a picture they got from some kid in South Central L.A. They liked it so much they decided to use it as their cover art - complete with spelling mistake. And following successful tours throughout Europe and the US the pair are now in Australia. If psychedelic folk is up your alley, you'll appreciate the lo-fi sounds of The Dodos and their latest album.
