So I posted a while ago about my excitement of Tilly and The Wall and how they created a distinct, hypnotic rhythm by substituting a drummer with a zealous tap-dancer. So I heard the San Francisco-based The Dodos, I dug their similar cadence, though their formula is different. The Dodos’ Meric Long (a former student of West African Ewe drumming...but weren't we all....), does frenetic, finger-plucking on acoustic guitar (think Gabriella y Rodrigo sans heavy thranshing), wh...

"Long's psych-folk-pop compositions are smart and tight and melodic and his hammer-handed, fleet-fingered acoustic attack always meets Kroeger's thumps halfway, awkward toe to toe, chin to chin, heat to intensity. And his voice is great. Warm and wobbly and fami... MORE
