He set out to create a band in which percussion could take the forefront of its compositions. Luckily enough, Meric was introduced to Logan Kroeber, who was familiar with drumming experimentation. The two joined together and eventually became The Dodos, releasing Beware of the Maniacs in , and quitting their jobs to tour the country. While touring between the fall of and the summer of , The Dodos managed to writer Visiter in its entirety, and much of the lyrical inspiration comes from being on the road.
Visiter was recorded in the same studio and with the same producer as Beware of the Maniacs, yet was approached completely differently.
With their second full-length, The Dodos wanted to capture the energy of a live show. No strangers to experimentation and spontaneous inspiration, Meric and guest trumpeter Cory Gray started an impromptu horn session during inspiration gained from a thunderstorm passing through.
Precision-laden percussion creates crisp beats layered with poppy and melodic guitar riffs that is nothing but complimented by mellowed vocals. The Dodos have created an amazing CD from minute one all the way through to minute sixty. The Dodos: website myspace French Kiss Records : website. I've been meaning to write about this band from San Francisco for a while.
It's simple why this record is so great. It's a formula. Pretty basic, but somehow it works in its own way for The Dodos. There's nobody here To tell us a joke We tear off our ears The fire that we stoke You wrote me a note The pages were blank And I, I should have known Invisible ink I know that I am yours and you will be mine Come and join us in the trenches Red and purple by our side Say you'll never leave us In this company of mine.
Went to the park today Watched all the dogs as they played None of them barked, they just hanged Think I'll buy a dog when I get paid Saw the girl I know from my job I think that she must think that I'm retarded I act so dumb when I get started Time to cut my hair and get it parted.
