Song of the Day

The Dodos: The once quirky duo is now a quirky trio.

Red and Purple- The Dodos This wonderous version of Red and Purple was rendered live at the NPR studio complete with toy piano and tom-tom heavy tribal drumming techiques of Logan Kroeber. Their latest album, Time To Die was released last week and it's a less frentic and moodier album than their first two albums Visiter (2008) and Beware of the Maniacs (2006).

Part of the reason for the sound makeover may be Phil Ek's role as producer on Time To Die. Phil Ek is resposible for crafting and producing the crystaline picture perfect sound of Fleet Foxes' debut album last year. The addition of Keaton Snyder on electric vibraphone and toy piano transforms the once quirky duo of Meric Long and Logan Kroeber into a quirky trio with a more defined sound.
