The Dodo's Announce Tour; Unveil New Album Cover

As noted earlier, The Dodos announced their Fall 2009 Tour and unveiled the cover art for their new album, Time To Die, which comes out September 15, 2009. It was produced by Phil Elk, who produced albums for Built to Spill, Fleet Foxes and The Shins.

"I'm glad that we were able to keep things simple on this record," says Dodo's frontman Meric Long. "Because when your band gets a little popular, there's this tendency to say things like, 'Let's add an orchestra on this one!' That works for some people, but it would detract from this band."

"After Visiter, we had a lot of options for which direction to go, but 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."

Fall Tour Dates
9/26 - Henry Miller Library - Big Sur, CA
9/27 - El Rey Theatre - Los Angeles, CA
9/28 - Casbah - San Diego, CA

Coming This Week: New, Exclusive Interviews

I'm happy to announce that this week will boast the return of our exclusive interviews with two of the best up-and-coming bands in the indie/college rock (whatever you want to call it) world.

Early this week: Cymbals Eat Guitars, the New York-based band

"You could blame it on so many bands being from autophobic NYC, or that the Pacific Northwest gods of indie are still going too strong to already be a primary influence, but neither would explain New York's Cymbals Eat Guitars' Why There Are Mountains. While there's plenty of geographical signifiers on their debut, it's almost topographic in its approach, without hooks and choruses so much as map-like layouts of mountains and sloping valleys." - Pitchfork

"I'll be the first to go on record saying that Cymbals Eat Guitars/Joseph Ferocious will end up indie famous within the year." - Charles Bissel, The Wrens

Later this week: The Soft Pack (formerly The Muslims), the L.A. via San Diego-based band

"They mix a kind of Strokes-y, and therefore VU, detachment and something that bumps in the night like Hell and his Voidoids (or, better yet, Hell and the Heartbreakers doing "Love Comes In Spurts"). You can also hear a bit of the Stooges - not just because the band cites 'em, along with the Replacements, as an inspiration - and early Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers (see "Future Rock," "On My Time," etc). Whatever the mix of forerunners, the Muslims find a way to make it their own -it's kinda uncanny." - Stereogum

Even more interviews coming soon!

Video of the Day: Simian Mobile Disco "Audacity of Huge"

Every workday morning, at o'dark thirty, I hit the road into Atlanta with Jack Foglenest on Sirius XMU. About two weeks ago, he played the latest from Simian Mobile Disco called "Audacity of Huge". It instantly became my musical obsession of the week.

So here's the video - which is underwhelming - but it sure is technocolory.
