██ AMG Review : ██
██ Lots of late-2000s indie bands boast archaic and/or ██
██ exotic influences, but few use them with the energy and ██
██ creativity that the Dodos do on Visiter, their first ██
██ officially released album. Country-blues fingerpicking ██
██ meets West African Ewe drumming meets metal meets indie ██
██ pop sounds like an all-too-wacky description on a band's ██
██ MySpace page, but the Dodos turn these far-flung elements ██
██ into delightfully natural-sounding music. What holds it ██
██ all together is Meric Long and Logan Kroeber's strong pop ██
██ sensibilities -- that's "pop" in the sense of memorable ██
██ melodies and ear-catching hooks, because the Dodos' songs ██
██ are too full of ideas to stick to a verse-chorus-verse ██
██ format for very long. Visiter gets off to a simple, ██
██ almost shy start with "Walking", which shows off Long's ██
██ boyish voice (it sits somewhere between Ben Gibbard and ██
██ Paul McCartney). Then the album really takes off with ██
██ "Red And Purple", which crashes in on toy pianos and ██
██ Kroeber's extravagantly syncopated drumming, creating a ██
██ massive backdrop for the song's limpid melody and vocal ██
██ harmonies. Visiter rarely lets up from there, coming in ██
██ such a rush of vibrant words, melodies, and rhythms that ██
██ it often feels like one ever-changing song. That makes ██
██ highlights difficult to pick -- although the gleeful ██
██ "Fools" and "Jodi", which sounds like a timeless folk ██
██ song revved up to modern-day speeds, are among them. ██
██ Though the Dodos play mostly acoustic instruments, they ██
██ generate a lot more energy than many plugged-in bands, ██
██ and with their rapid dynamic shifts, at times they even ██
██ rock harder, too (that's where the metal influence comes ██
██ in). It's a good thing the band only has two core ██
██ members, since Long and Kroeber have so much going on ██
██ already that there isn't much room for many other sounds ██
██ or players. They push and pull against each other, adding ██
██ the same creative spark and tension to snippets like ██
██ "Eyelids" that they do to the aptly majestic final track ██
██ "God?". Long's guitars are especially inspired on "Paint ██
██ the Rust," where his swift picking and snarling slide ██
██ work sounds a bit like John Fahey or Jim O'Rourke after ██
██ several pots of coffee, and on "Winter"'s delicate, ██
██ descending guitar riff, which swirls and falls lightly ██
██ like a flurry. Kroeber's drumming is often elaborate, but ██
██ never too showy, especially on "Park Song", where he ██
██ gives Long's rambling internal monologue a playful sense ██
██ of purpose. That purposefulness never flags, even when ██
██ the Dodos slow it down on wistful but not too-precious ██
██ ballads like "Ashley", or take one turn too many on the ██
██ seven-minute patchwork "Joe's Waltz". Visiter's ██
██ experimental pop is so joyous and liberated-sounding that ██
██ it's difficult not to get swept along in its wake. ██
