Buzzworthy??? Or Not???

Who: The Dodos
Location: San Francisco, CA
Thoughts: Listening to The Dodos is kind of like listening to an almanac of your favorite bands. Over here you'll have a bit of The Magnetic Fields, on this track there's an element of Sufjan, and over the course of a number of tracks there's the ever present feeling that you're listening to something from Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. For once though the combination of familiar elements doesn't breed contempt, instead it whisks you away into a world where the songs are immediately familiar, but always imaginative and new. If it weren't for an extremely strong release week their sophomore effort, Visitor, would certainly be my main recommended release but I had to give the nod to a couple of albums that had a slightly greater hold on my ears. That said, Visitor is a tremendous album and is certainly worthy of any buzz it should receive!
Verdict: Buzzworthy!!!
Listen: The Dodos - "Winter"
The Dodos - "Park Song"
