The Dodos' Time to Die out TODAY!

Today marks the release of The Dodos' 3rd album, Time To Die. It also marks the addition of a third member, 21-year old Keaton Snyder on the vibraphone, to the San Francisco-based band. Despite beefing up the band and the involvement of Phil Ek (Built to Spill, Fleet Foxes, The Shins) The Dodos maintain their relatively simple, upbeat, percussion-driven sound that makes their music so delightful and damn catchy. Not that I'm even sure exactly what a vibraphone is, but I like the addition. And I have to say this album seems perfect for the oncoming Autumn. I can just see the beautiful Fall leaves falling as I walk down the street to this album.
