Product Description
2009 release by the Indie Rock duo. With a title like Time To Die, you might think the Dodos' third disc is their `maturealbum,' a serious undertaking punctuated with string sections and synths. While Indie Rock's go-to guy, Phil Ek (Built To Spill, Fleet Foxes, The Shins), hopped behind the boards this time, the Dodos' style is still centered around two key elements: the punchy percussion of Logan Kroeber and the Fahey infused finger-picking of front man Meric Long.

5. This Is A Business
6. Two Medicines
7. Troll Nacht
8. Acorn Factory
9. Time To Die

The Dodos announce new album details

The Dodos have announced details of their forthcoming new album, which is due out at the end of the summer.

The San Francisco duo return with their third album, 'Time To Die', which has been produced by Phil Ek (Fleet Foxes, The Shins), on August 31 in the UK (September 15 in the US).

The band have also drafted in an extra member, with 21 year-old Keaton Snyder taking up the vibraphone on the follow-up to the band's 2008 breakthrough record 'Visiter'.

"After 'Visiter', we had a lot of options for which direction to go," said frontman Meric Longs in a statement.

He added: "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."
