The clitter-clattering experimental drums and freaky guitar strums mastered by San Fran's The Dodos could be best likened to a sonic back massage, both soothing and awakening in their rhythmic explorations. It seems that the band has turned to its own musical brand of therapy in the wake of an album leak. The band's third record, Time To Die, originally slated for September release, has found its way to the web in recent days. In lieu of any hissy-fittage, the guys have taken a proactive, multi-pronged approach to their dilemma. They've pushed forward the album's digital release to late July... read more
