San Franciscos urban indie folk scene, thats given us bands like Two Gallants and the Dodos, offers twinges of twang, seemingly simple melodies, and an ear for the sweet, occasionally disjointed hook. What the Dodos do well and makes them so insanely listenable is present it with a pleasing blend of varied, unpredictable rhythms propelled by Logan Kroebers off the hook drumming. Given that their latest No Color is full of hummable sonic treasures and is being released at a time when their genre is blowing up (in addition to major SXSW buzz), the Dodos could be segueing into mainstream music conciseness very soon.
