THE DODOS | ‘Time To Die’ & September UK Tour

⋅ Post a comment

We are very excited to announce that San Franciscan duo, The Dodos are returning this autumn with a brand new release, ‘Time To Die’ - the follow up to last year’s extremely well received ‘Visiter’, and produced by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, The Shins, Built to Spill).

Meric and Logan’s sound is still centered around the two key elements of punchy percussion, but ‘Time To Die’ introduces one major addition to The Dodos’ creative core: Keaton Snyder, a 21-year-old music school dropout who plays a mean vibraphone.
Meric explains - “After Visiter, we had a lot of options for which direction to go, but I knew we wanted to make a rock record. Being an acoustic band—primarily, at least—sort of works against this idea, but Phil’s production showcased that side of our band.”
“The vibraphone is pretty crazy and loud,” adds Long, “and if you put it through some effects, you can make it sound like a guitar or synthesizer. It still has that element of something you’re hitting, though, which is central to how Logan and I play our instruments.”


The tracklisting for Time To Die :
Small Deaths

Since the release of ‘Visiter’ last summer, The Dodos have been touring the globe (supporting Fleet Foxes on their Australian tour), playing In front of 10K at Pitchfork and selling out huge US shows on both the East and West coasts.


They return to the UK in September for a full UK tour, finishing with End Of The Road Festival on Sunday 13th September.
