I like the dodos. The first time I heard anything about them was on one of nialler9's podcasts from last year where they were compared to Animal Collective, and then apologised to in delightfully polite way but Aoife Mc. Yeah if sung tongs had been more song focused and less ambient I could see it coming in as something akin to The Dodo's sound. But thats just it they are an excellent band who make great little songs full of passion and pretty pop structures and as much as I AC sometimes you need to pull yourself out those early albums and back into the reality of modern music and The Dodo's are a great vehilce for doing so as well being a fantastic proposition on their own terms. Think of simple folk songs with intense drumming, warmth and interesting melodies playing out over very simple and occasionally genrified sounds.
