What started out as a solo project for Meric Long called Dodobird, turned into a band with the addition of drummer Logan Kroeber. They surprised everyone with the release of last year’s “Visiter” where Long’s fingerpicking was the talk of the town. They’re back already with “Time To Die” which sees them teaming up with producer Phil Ek (The Shins, Fleet Foxes) and new Dodo Keaton Snyder who helms the vibraphone.
The songs on the new album don’t sound as restless as before, except for the occasional oddity such as “This Is A Business”. But when you hear “Fables” or “Acorn Factory” a comparison with The Shins is not far away. Even after the summer of love, San Francisco apparently still is home to dreamy individuals who like to combine pop with folk.
Score: 7.5 out of 10
