The Dodos

(8.1)
From San Francisco. Self-described “Happy hardcore.” Imagine Animal Collective at its pop best on acoustic guitar and stuttering drums without the less appealing avant-garde experimentation that usually invokes a press of the skip button. This was the first album of the year that I was genuinely excited to buy. I went to the record store five times before they got it in stock. Before the album came out, I was obsessed with songs, “Jodi,” and “Ashley,” which mix sweet folky melodies with euphoric rampage. Unfortunately, the rest of the album doesn’t match the heights of those songs. Still great, though.
