Dodos' (aka Dodo Bird) sound is shaped by the marriage of two periods in songwriter Meric Long's musical history: playing in rock/metal bands growing up in the suburbs, and playing and listening to old delta blues records in his post adolescent years. Adopting a country blues style of finger-picking guitar, Meric blends in noise, electronic sounds and loops, along with the syncopated percussion of drummer Logan Kroeber, whose background in the Santa Cruz metal band Entragian made for a perfect fit.

With a title like Time to Die, you might think the Dodos third disc is their mature album, a deadly serious undertaking punctuated with string sections and synths. Nice try kid, but you've got it all wrong. While indie rock's go-to guy, Phil Ek (Built to Spill, Fleet Foxes, The Shins), hopped behind the boards this time, the Dodos wildly-percussive style is still centered around two key elements: the punchy percussion of Logan Kroeber and the Fahey-infused finger-picking of frontman Meric Long.
