The Cold Cut

Frenchkiss Records debutants The Dodos have done it again with their second single 'Jody'. Whilst not quite as infectious as 'Fools', this has done more than enough to convince me that 'Visiter' is going to be a worthy purchase. The drums, as usual, never do what you expect, running slightly off the beat, and the Meric Long blends the guitar melody well with his voice. Who Jody is, we have no idea, but she makes fitting subject matter for the song... again a mouth watering 4 minutes 30 seconds, and at no point boring.

The Dodos- Jody

'Visiter comes out on March 18th, make sure you pre-order it here!

The Dodos have just started a US wide tour, including dates at South By Southwest in early March. Wish I could be there... (*sighs longingly*)
