finally available on vinyl. one of the hits of this year's sxsw now signed to wichita in the uk. 'visiter' by san francisco band the dodos is their second full length and first for french kiss. meric long singer / guitarist of psych-folk-pop duo dodos hones the callings of free-spirited, unhinged acts like animal collective, the music he makes with drummer logan kroeber embodies a spirit of its own. long's light, ephemeral finger play on the acoustic guitar is fast, warm and focused, resonating under his refined lyrical hopscotch...add kroeber's stomping tom-and-tambourine backbeat, which recalls the velvet underground's moe tucker, and that amounts to one shit-kicking good time. originally formed in 2006 under the moniker dodobird as a one man acoustic act, meric long would gig around sf playing folky guitar with a combination of loops and ambient keyboards. having already studied west african ewe drumming, meric got turned onto country blues fingerpicking and sought to create a band where the drumming could be a centre role and help bring out the syncopated rhythms coming out of the acoustic guitar.
